    It's 85 degrees in here!

    This heat is driving me crazy! One way or another our AC isn't blowing out air like it's supposed to so as a result our house is heating up. My room has always been the hottest of the bunch so naturally it's 85 degrees in here. 90 degrees outside. I'm about to put my shoes on and go downstairs where it's cooler because the fan isn't helping at all.

    When was the last time your AC busted? What did you do to combat the heat?

    I don't know if this counts but in my house, it's an older house, so no central air, just window air conditioners.

    The summer of '12 when I was pregnant with my son I was so miserable that we had to sleep in the living room on the futon because we didn't have air conditioning upstairs. The summer after that we got a portable air conditioner that we hooked up in our son's room and while it doesn't necessarily blow out cold air, it works very, very well at dehumidification which is also a godsend. This summer I will be having our second son in August, so I'm hoping that the dehumidification will be good enough for me because I will be downright miserable otherwise, being due in mid-august and all.

    I live in the UK. I've never known anybody to have AC in their house. I guess because generally we don't get mega hot weather...or maybe it's just the people I know!

    If it gets too hot in our house , we just put a fan on.

    Sorry to be a jerk, but 85 degrees sounds amazing to me. It was about 70 today and everyone was dressing lightly, but that's not warm enough for me!

    88 in Chicagoland. Not really that bad to deal with since there isn't too much humidity. haven't been home since it got that high, so when I get back I am probably going to have to vent my place a bit.

    Up here where I am AC is for rich people pretty much - in fact I feel like I have to regularly remind people from other countries that not EVERYONE in the States has it. We are more concerned with having a good heater for the nine month winters (did I mention it snowed yesterday?) So I've never had to deal with the AC being broken because I have never had it.

    That said I find everything over about ~75 F to be unbearably hot so if I had money you can bet I'd invest in it.

    Anything over 70 is just too hot for me. It's strange, considering I grew up in KC and it's hot as smurf there for 8 months a year.

    I finding myself suprised--now that I live in Upstate NY--how ready I am for warmer weather. The days are now quite nice, but I'd like it to get juuuuust up into the 70s. The pool opens in a few weeks, and I need it hot hot hot! Or at least for the hours I am there. Any other time it can be cool.

    My grandmother doesn't believe in A/C and my first summer in PA was horrid. They had an uncharacteristically hot summer and I DIED.

    85F? That sounds really pleasant. It gets to 100F+ here in the summer.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    Yeah, but it's just barely spring, Alayna. xD KC generally gets up between 100-110F with 100% humidity on any given day in the summer.

    I walk around in a T-shirt and jeans in weather as cold as -5°. That's 23 for those still lagging behind the rest of the developed world.
