I live in the desert of eastern Washington state, USA.
It's been a fucking heat wave for a month already. I'm dyin' over and losing so much sleep. It's past 1am and the windows have been open with fans in them since 10pm when the temperature outside finally dropped below the temperature inside (79F/26.1C outside to 80F/26.6C inside), and as of now its finally down to... 77F/25C... still too fucking hot. It's been well over 90F/32F every day for way way way too long. It's hit 100F/37F at least 6 days that I've counted so far.
I'm a self-hoster with a lot of devices and I've literally shut down any non-essentials to keep the heat down inside.
In western WA, there's really no such thing as AC, is that the case in eastern WA too?
No. I'm originally from Spokane. Never saw a house without AC growing up. When I moved to Seattle, I was surprised by the absence of this core feature.
It's hit and miss in eastern WA, none in this old house.
