We actually don’t have air conditioning in our house. At 6,900’ elevation, our hottest month is June when it averages in the mid to high 90s during the day, but at sunset the temperatures drop into the 60-70s. For about 2 weeks in late June we cuss the heat and say next year we’re getting air conditioning. Then around July 4, the monsoon rainy season starts and the daytime highs are in the mid-80s. It usually doesn’t get back up to the mid 90s again that season. Sometimes we will have a hot period in August, but usually June is the hottest month. At high elevations even when it’s hot during the day, nighttime’s are usually good sleeping weather with open windows. We do use ceiling fans.
Our average highs in July are something like 70 or maybe less. The big lake keeps us cool but when we hit 80 its an oven for us. We never get used to the heat.
I came home from work two days ago and it was 88 degrees inside the house. My wife was working away at her computer happy as can be, with only a couple windows open in the house. I, on the other hand, was sweating like a pig!
I asked her why she didn't have the air on? She said it was nice.
Only about eight more months until I can go ice fishing again.
