It hasnt affected ours too much, we have a energy effecient window cooler and it works wonders! Then at night we leave a couple of windows open so the cooler air can circulate throughout the house.
Ive used a compass lots of times. Especially in trucking, its a must-have.
Happy Friday everyone.

Stay in the shade and drink lots of liquids.

Yes, I asked the lady behind the cosmetics counter at a department store.
