summer temperatures are usually in the high 80's for the most part, but in July and August it gets up to around 94. It is usually hot and humid. Autumn comes on suddenly in late September, cooling down to around 65 to 70 degrees during the day and around 55 at night with much less humidity.

What is Suggested thermostat setting?

Heating winter in mild weather: 67 degrees " in colder weather: 70 degrees Cooling summer mild weather : 74 degrees " in hotter weather: 76 degrees Reasons: mild winter- 67 degrees-- the humidity in your house will be high enough to make this comfortable. Cold winter- 70 degrees-- The house will be drier and draftier, so a higher setting is needed. If you are still cold at 70 degrees, check the insulation. If your insulation is good but you are still cold at 70 degrees, consider using humidifiers so you will feel warmer. Mild summer-- Since the a/c will not kick on frequently, a setting of 74 is necessary to assure that it kicks on frequently enough to remove enough humidity for comfort. If the weather is very comfortable, try shutting the a/c off and opening some windows. Hot Summer- 76 degrees: since the a/c will kick on more frequently, it will remove enough humidity to be comfortable at 76 degrees. You can move the thermostat up 2 degrees and save money.
