What's your highest and lowest temperature in your city so far this year? (average, temperatures)

Them: "I love summer! But this heat is too much."
Me: "This IS summer. This what summer is like here!"
Them: "No we usually get a shower in the afternoon that cools us down quite a bit."
Me: "Are you sure you actually live here?"

I think some people here are actually thinking about Spring or Fall when they're talking about Summer.

Tell them to turn off their A/C for a day. Then see how much they "love" summer.

I'll give the benefit of the doubt this year though since it has been more brutal than usual.

Even with this hot summer, I don't want summer to end. I won't mind slightly cooler days, but rather this than any other season's weather. And I don't have any A/C to turn off.

Do you think you could handle living without A/C in a place like Mississippi or Louisiana?

Since we live in the northeast, we're fortunate enough to get occasional breaks from the heat and humidity. But even being this far up north, it still gets hot and humid enough to require A/C, IMO. Thankfully it seems as though we've returned to more "normal" summer weather over the past few weeks.

We still have a month or so left, but the end is near. I'm really going to appreciate fall this year.

I've wondered if I could handle living in the south this summer since I was fine most of the hottest and humid days this summer without A/C. Perhaps it wasn't not my ideal but it was bearable and would still prefer it over winter. I was in an air conditioned house the week of the heat wave after July 4, though people in my apartment managed without A/C, but were uncomfortable.

Anyhow, I could handle living without A/C in a place like Mississippi or Louisiana. Would I enjoy it? Probably not. I would like a place with our summers and the winters of the south.

Hats off to you. I would certainly admire your electric bill. I've always wondered what it would be like to turn off the A/C down south for a day or two...just to test my limits, because up here, it usually cools off enough at night to turn off the A/C (even though I personally don't find 65-70 F at night satisfyingly cool). Down south, often it doesn't fall below 70 or 75 F and the dewpoints are higher. Up here, usually I don't have to turn it on until later in the afternoon or evening (depending on how hot it is). And I'm certainly grateful that it gets a break every now and then. Down south it seems as though it would have to be turned on every single day from May through September.

While I prefer our winters...I do agree that the southeast has very nice winters. I think I would rather vacation down there during the winter than during the summer (unless it was a beach vacation).
