It's going to be sickening on Memorial Day weekend and on the first weekend of June, when we're dreaming about hitting the pools, and it's struggling to hit 60 degrees with heavy rain both weekends. Nah... SURELY BY THEN we'll be out of this punishment.

Can only speak for one person, but going way out on a limb, likely there is someone in Savannah who wouldn't complain, either ...

I will take 60 degrees over 90 and humid in June. Preferably though, I'd prefer around 75 with low humidity, sunshine, and a light breeze.

I'm glad school ends in May, I walk/run from the bus station to my campus and back everyday and I couldn't imagine doing it in the summer heat.

Folks,
It may be a slow time for weather, so now's a good time to visit our Wiki and find some items in there you can use when things ramp up ... and there are some awfully good tools there ...
Best,
Your Curmudgeon

Hey Curmudgeon, ;)
Good suggestion. Folks, Forsyth and Phil have put in a lot of time to develop the Wiki.

By the way, my point in the other post is that it really isn't a slow time for wx at least in terms of what's in the forecast unless I'm the only one who thinks so due to being in the Twilight Zone. And what's in the forecast often generates the most discussion. Heck, we're not even getting Brick complaints about all of the plain rain RDU is looking to get! :p

Brick is gone for the winter I think, as is most of the winter crowd. Only thing to look at for now is the heavy rain in a week or so and the heat that is coming. Of course when that happens that's when we get the "Not a drop until September" crowd LOL.
 
How come during the winter, we can't buy a negative NAO/AO, yet any other time of the year, we can't get rid of it! :(
 
I got a new heating and air unit a few weeks ago, and it has the auto setting where you can set the cool temp and heat temp, and it will cool or heat automatically based on those temps. The settings have to have at least a 3 degree difference. Trying to figure out what I want to set the temps at. Right now I have the cool set at 74 and the heat at 71.

We always set the temp on new construction to 72( summer)- 68 ( Winter) but it all really depends on your liking and what you want to spend every month. We always install .5 ton over needed to lessen workload stress on the unit.

I like 74-75 AC and ~71 heat.
I can't get my thermostat to get to the auto-changeover option on the touch screen though the manual has it as an option. I have a Trane heat pump. I'm going to call Trane tomorrow to see why and see if there's a way to get to that option on mine.
 
It also has a sett

We got a Trane, too. Our other unit was 19 years old. The air was okay, but the heat was hardly working. Hope the new unit will save on the power bill, too.

Mine is a Trane XL20i with a touch pad that is worse (or better) to work than an iPhone; I set A/C to 72º Mon - Fri -- 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 10:00 PM; 80º after; Sat and Sunday - a bit more cooling during the day; for winter I simply touch a command and its 68º from Mon - Fri -- 5:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 10:00 PM and 64º afterwards); Sat and Sunday, a bit more during the day, and 64º at night; but, it has an "auto" option that lets me set it to keep a range regardless of the season, and a humidity function (which I keep at 50%) that overrides everything in case North FL gets too humid (who'da thunk); plus, if and when it ever gets above 80º or below 50º inside, even if no one is within 100 miles, it adjusts to keep it liveable anyway; for well over 3000 sq feet and letting it do its thing, my bill is less than 1/2 of what it was before that beast was installed. Bottom line, if the climate is variable, and if your touch screen allows, that Trane auto feature, and the humidity sensor are a real plus ... :confused:

You people are wussies. I've never had A/C in my life. I'm used to the house getting to 85+ during the day. I just use fans and it makes it bearable.

Yes, mine has the auto feature and humidity feature. Sounds like it should work well with how the weather swings around here.

Do you have books? Clothes? Other things of value? Tile and grout?
Mildew ever a problem?
Truly not being judgemental at all, but just askin' in the 21st Century ... :eek:
 
My dad always likes to keep the A/C at 76-77 and is a stickler about when he turns on the heat and air. There's been some days that have been hot already but he hasn't turned it on and is still going back and forth with the heat (off, then on again, then off again).

It's not bad, but I do live in a more wooded area which can help. It can get bad when it's really hot, but usually for me it's not terrible and when I'm home I like to sit in one of the warmer rooms of the house.

I remember when the A/C was broken for a couple summers. Woof, that was terrible. I mean it still ran but it was not controlling the air temp and it was getting into the mid 80s.
