The climate is different in different parts of the world, you see. But if you want to live through a Texas summer without A/C, go for it and enjoy.

Jesus. I've lived in a place where it's not rare to surpass 120 F each year in the summer. This is not the point, the point is to have A/C on 24/7 everywhere as soon as you are reaching 70 F.

What's the dew point at those temperatures?

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

Around 100 F, depending on the humidity of the specific year. It used to be a tropical forest.
