Why Arizona homes often feel warmer than thermostats suggest – and what to do about it https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/080323_az_home_temps_op/why-arizona-homes-often-feel-warmer-than-thermostats-suggest-8211-and-what-do-it/
Millions of Americans now live in places where cooling is the only thing preventing a mass casualty event, and the radiant heat of the Arizona sun often makes homes feel hotter inside than the thermostat suggests - but residents can take steps towards cooler temperatures.

@TucsonSentinel Good information, and not just for those in Arizona.

Our crusty A/C finally died this spring.
We've installed a few window units, and between that and circulation fans, it's working just-bearably well. 😄 Unless the humidity is up to 35%.🤢
That radiant heat has been the worst of it, as the house is never cool inside very effectively now except in pockets. So we've spent a good deal of time figuring out how to best position fans to channel the air through the house to help the window units to remove the hot air & replace it. 🤓
