When you wake up in the south, the last thing you want to recognize is tepid and humid.
Most likely, if you awaken to heat, there is a problem with your air conditioner.
I do not know a single person who does not have air conditioner, although when I was a kid, there were still some folks who had not lived with a/c in their homes. My daughter’s friend, who is newly married, just bought a home farther south, and although it has air conditioner, it doesn not have central air conditioner. That’s right, she bought a home for $250,000 that only has a window cooling system. A single window cooling system. I find that shocking! But still, at least it has that. I assume there is quite a disparity in Heating and Air Conditioning units in use in this country right now, then when I was a kid, there were more than one kinds of air conditioner – a window a/c unit or central heating and cooling, then nowadays, there are still houses with window a/c units, as I have l gained thanks to my daughter’s friend, all the way up through Heating and Air Conditioning with zone control and sensors to turn the heating and cooling off on their own, however both of us now have smart temperature controls so it takes practically no effort to keep your home at the perfect temperature for your family at every moment of the day. Both of us even have those sort of updated and better window a/c units known as mini split cooling systems. My friend has one of those in her house, in the back area where the other owners added on to the house.
