How can you sleep in 83. Down in sputh florida my a/c runs almost constantly to keep it in the mid-70s and I still need a fan to sleep! I love the fall/winter months so i can turn off ac and let my house cool into the 60s
EDIT: It seems like quite alot of you have no a/c? Seems ghastly! I have a heater here in South Florida for some reason gets used maybe two weeks out of the year when nights drop into the 40s
We set the A/C (thermostat) to 81 F in July, but heat rises upwards into my room so it's generally a few degrees warmer in there (82-85 F). I agree that it's pretty difficult to fall asleep in these conditions, especially when the nighttime lows and dew points are very high, but I get used to it.
It's equally difficult for me to fall asleep in January because I don't use thick blankets, but as in summer I get used to it. The worst nights are the rare nights when the outside temp drops below 10 F, and my room temp will drop into the low-mid 50s.
Usually 15-17°C (59-63°F) at night at this time of year, in summer it can be as hot as 26°C (79°F) and this is only time of year where i sometimes sleep with open windows. Its not that i am freezing, i just don't like to hear the noise from the harbour nearby.
17 degrees, up to 18 with heating, down to 12-13 at night, during average winter conditions. Costs about £1.50 a day to heat the room in winter, to these levels.
