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.
Mine just got fixed a few weeks ago. It was broken for 7 months. Luckily we had a backup.
It's smurfing like 75 degrees here and I'm dying.

We got great weather here
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.

85F? That sounds really pleasant. It gets to 100F+ here in the summer.
I dont use AC, just a fan and if that's busted then I drink a lot of fluids and take a lot of showers
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
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.
Most people I've met don't. Technically I probably walk around like that in much colder weather too, I just never check the weather forecast or a thermometer.
And above 68 or so I start getting uncomfortable. I was built for the cold.
I know it's not summer there yet, but all these people saying these lovely, pleasant, mild temperatures are "too hot" for them is very confusing for me.
