Thermo in shade in the backyard is 97.4. It's pretty accurate. I set the high temp autosave. Don't think I can get 105 in my back yard but today will definitely be the highest temp I've officially recorded on my property.

Even when DCA/BWI/IAD were hitting 104-106 the last two years, mine has barely touched 100. I figure 101 or 102 is the max my yard/elevation can get to. Only need a few more degrees.

Random question....what is the boards strategy with regards to house ac temps on days like today......high during the day and lower at night for better sleeping or lower during the day and give it a break at night. I've been keeping mine at 73-74 during the day and the house is comfortable.

I'd say high during the day (78) and lower at night (73), but my wife insists on 68 throughout... It's a friggin icebox in here...

Mine goes to 75 every day. It then is scheduled to step down to 70 between 4 and 10. Holds 70 until 6:00 am.

Of course, on days like today it doesn't get to 70 until well after midnight and doesn't even cut off starting around noon-ish. It won't even hold 75 running full time when it's 103+. Can only hold 76-77 at that temp.

We do 78 during the day and 72 at night during the workweek. Set at 74 right now. Lower than I would have liked, but my wife is less cautious.

We like it cold in the house:

73 during the day and 66 at night at all times during the hotter months. In the winter, we keep it cold, so our bills are certainly lighter when it's cold outside.

My best friend picked a wonderful today to have an outdoor wedding. I can't wait to stand outside in the sun for an hour in a black wool suit.

It was nice knowing all of you. :fever::frostymelt:

Woof! I can relate somewhat as my sis got married on a 90+ day in a barn. We were taking bets on who would pass out first.
