Triathlon? Does that mean you can die three different ways? Anyone working out in weather like this DESERVES what he gets.
Stop dramatizing over a perfectly normal weather pattern, mr kk (aka “ultra temp-sensitive”)...do you prefer to be housed in my tomato green house on Long Island with +/- 1 degree temp fluctuations?
Hmm, well you've actually come to this thread to make a complaint, so you're a complainer too.
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones
Ms henna, didn’t mean to stone at your glass house, but to discourage some obsessive whining behaviors over nothing under your glass roof, have you not noticed ...
I wonder if Con Ed is reducing voltage in some areas. I turned on my a/c and the compressor took awhile to come on and then cycled off at 83 degrees. I never have problems with the a/c during normal summer days.
Depending how low the voltage is certain controls may not pull in ..or the motors will over heat from drawing excessive amperage to make up for the voltage drop ...hard to say in your case if that is what happened.
We spent the day out in the heat ...we had tickets to do the kykuit tour of the Rockefeller estate ....it was 2–1/2 hours long ....the house has no air conditioning either .......it was hot but the grounds had a lot of shade where we walked

I later checked the voltage with a multimeter and it was 119v which is good. Could it be the a/c wasn't receiving enough wattage?

No such thing ... a motor will suck up more amperage when the voltage dips ...but it always gets the wattage it needs ... the problem with drawing more amperage is the motors are wound to handle only just so much amperage before they get to hot and burn or the insulation breaks down
Real Feel today, Sunday, will be 102F. I think it will be Netflix streaming all afternoon with the Fedder/Airtemp humming away. I am watching BAD EDUCATION starring Jack Whitehall, zany British sit-com.
Doctor's appointment tomorrow morning in the West Village. Likely cooler with an umbrella handy. I DESPISE going to the doctor.
