Yeah, it’s a must need nowadays since summers really warmed dramatically in the last 15 years or so. I have 2 portable and 2 window units. We typically only need the 2 portables and one window unit to keep our 1300 sq ft house cool when it’s in the 90s.

Night sky as it looks like from Sawda Natheel, a place in far southern Qatar close to the Saudi border. In extremely light polluted Doha I barely see 3 stars lol, let alone the milky way

Canes are the 2026 Stanley Cup champs!

80 doesn't bother me too much and with lots of trees and shade the house stays fairly cool. It's upper 80's-90's with little nighttime cooling that heats the house up a lot!

Next few weeks will need AC. No signs of respite. Will be either average or above average for the foreseeable future. Lots of 80s.
