    Are you installing A/C? Or, at least a portable unit? I hope you guys can stay cool. It took me quite a while to become acclimated to no ac after I moved there for a number of years.

      I’ve thought about it in recent years but so far, at least where I live, it is still manageable without. Days where it doesn’t cool down enough during the night to survive the next day (opening/shutting windows and blinds) are still rare and don’t last more than a few days at a time and it takes a bit for the house to really heat up.

      If/when that changes and heat waves with still hot/humid nights get more common or longer, I’ll have to get a solution for at least a room or two.

      I bought a portable unit last year and used it for the hottest days, as I was working from home in a small room which heats up quickly.

      I also bought it for safety reasons, we are for people in our household and in case a long lasting heat wave comes we at least have the means to cool down one room for the night where we all can sleep.
