I'm going to assume that the majority in these areas use their air conditioner. I'm sure there are some of you that will say you don't and I envy you, I can't stand my apartment to be any warmer than around 78°F- 80 absolute tops. And do you keep it on and set around the clock or only when home?

I keep mine set to 78 and was told it's best to always keep it set here even when I'm gone for hours at a time. Seems like a waste to me and I also turn it off at night, have a fan above my bed for really warm evenings.

 

[Kayhan]

75 degrees.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

We only turn it on during periods of extreme heat but it's usually at 74

 

[Maintenance]

23-25°C.

 

[clearacell]

No A/c...I go shirtless, multiple fans, water spray bottle and constant icy water.

 

[John Kowalski]

I don't have an air conditioner, i just uh... wish for a quick death and hope for the best.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Even when it's 110F I don't use AC. I actually like our planet.

 

[chubigans]

72 degrees, Texas here.

 

[Invictus]

Texas
70

 

[Arttemis]

79°F most of the year. It was in the mid 90s today.

 

[Kadin]

Is this because you don't like the cost of using it or another reason? I do the same things you do, minus the spray bottle... that sounds like something I should look into.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

62-65 degrees like to keep it kinda cold

 

[Twilight Gap]

Anything over 72 is too hot.

 

[jotun?]

texas, 76

 

[BlackGoku03]

72 degrees. South Carolina.


Being that I lived in England for so long and without AC, coming back to the states where every building has AC took some time to adjust. I was sick the first two weeks because I wasn't used to the cold air.

Nowadays, I can't live without it. Especially as hot as it gets here. And muggy being so close to the ocean.

 

[StMeph]

In Houston, 77-78 when the temp is above 80

 

[rickyson1]

usually more in the 70s and 80s here in Michigan but it does hit 90+ sometimes

anyways usually 72,sometimes a lower temperature than that but never a higher one

 

[rjinaz]

Usually 78 because of costs. Ideally, 75-76.

I live in Phoenix. It gets upward of 115 F in the summer.

 

[Aureon]

25c, but actually turn it on when it's 30+ outside.
(My room is three sides of glass, soo..)

 

[lightus]

North central Florida here. It's hot, muggy and, since we are in the middle of the state, no wind.

I typically keep the blinds closed and the AC at 78. Sometimes at night I put it down to 76/75 cause my room gets too hot to sleep comfortably.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

67,Florida

 

[Surface of Me]

75 degrees.

This, honestly Im fine with anything under 80 for the most part. 80 is the point where Ill start lightly sweating just being inside.

 

[Vyrance]

76, Florida

 

[Slayven]

Georgia
68-70

will dip as low as 65

 

[Magus1234]

AC? Must be nice.

 

[Syncytia]

Usually 78 because of costs. Ideally, 75-76.

I live in Phoenix. It gets upward of 115 F in the summer.

Same on all accounts. I have to have like 73 to sleep though...been considering something small to cool just my room.

Although when I was in India for awhile only had a ceiling fan. You get used to it after a few days.

 

[louiedog]

When I was living where it was 90+ for 3 or more months at a time it was usually at about 78. Dry air conditioned air at that temp is fine with me. It's still wait too hot for humid outside air though and I find hot climates to be mostly miserable to my comfort.

 

[Couleurs]

70 in the summer, 75 in the winter. My apartment has pretty good insulation so it doesn't need to run as often as it did in previous apartments.

 

[Dosia]

78 while at work, and 75 when I get home and sleep.

 

[RPGCrazied]

75 degrees.

Same, when its really hot its on 73.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

85, I live in a desert though, so I am used to the heat.

Just got to combo with a fan.

 

[soundscream]

I take that shit to 65.

Fuck humidity!!!!!!!!

How hot will it get for you if you don't turn it on at 85? I don't think I've ever had my apartment get hotter than 82 but it's not very big so I guess that's why.

And we get double digit days of 100+ here in the summer.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I really hate summer, its going to be around 98F next week.

 

[mieumieu]

25c / 77f

Well, 115 outside during the summer.

The main thing is, we don't have like 90% humidity here. Hot is hot, but you don't instantly sweat your balls off here. Today, it got up to 100 but with 7% humidity.

[OmegaFax]

Georgia. Both AC units are stressed. One needs a tune-up and the other probably needs to be replaced. Right now the older unit is set to either 77-78 until it can't keep up, then I turn it off and ride it out for the rest of the day. The newer three year old unit was set to around 75-76 and that thing can't keep up either.

I'd prefer it to be something like 72-74 but electricity bill gets expensive, insulation must be leaking air somewhere, and the units run but don't cool what it needs to.

Finding someone to repair/replace units is a headache.

 

[abrack08]

72 or 73 when I'm home and awake, 70 when I go to bed, 78-80ish when I leave for a long period of time.

 

[Kadin]

Same. Supposed to be 98 tomorrow and I'm in Sacramento. What area you in?

Texas. Its a hellhole during summers.

 

[Breads]

68-72

My office equipment (I work from home) generates a lot of heat and unfortunately my AC doesn't work on a room to room basis so if I need to circulate the air to cool the room down I tend to drop down the overall temp a degree or two to keep it going, which more often than not leads to the rest of the place being a little colder than I'd like.

 

[Escape Goat]

73 in Dallas

 

[Skyline Owl]

MO here.

72-74 in the summer, though it was 48 last night and 68 currently so it's off at the moment.

 

[tcrunch]

75-76
edit: I live in the desert so there's no humidity issue.
edit2: Outdoor temps are around 100 in the summer, the highest I have seen is about 110, and then at night it goes to 80-90 depending on where the season is at.

 

[jacob armitage]

I like it a little cooler at around 23.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

Georgia
68-70

will dip as low as 65

Mississippi here, and yeah, we're a 69F household.

 

[natjjohn]

I'm someone who doesn't mind it warm, but you all must be sweating hard at night with some of these temps!

 

[Kadin]

Texas. Its a hellhole during summers.

You guys get both extremes like we do here right? Get into the low 30's upper 20's at times during winter and then then 110s during summer. I hate both extremes.

Texas is weird with winters, last winter was mild. Never got below 35 where I was with no snow. Last season before that it snowed like 21" in a freak blizzard. Climate change is real.
