The Nice Thing About Late Summer Hot Weather

August 30, 2011


We've experienced fewer over 100 degree days this summer than seems normal. However, we are now having some really hot, and I might add, dry days where temperatures are peaking over the 100+ degree mark. The really nice advantage of having a late summer hot spell is that temperatures cool down when the sun sets and we experience nighttime temperatures in the 60 degree range.


The secret of cutting your home cooling costs is to open wide your windows in the evening and closing them and pulling the blinds in the morning. If you have followed this routine in the past, you know that it can be effective. Usually your home will stay comfortable until late afternoon and you will have saved on your electric bill.


These wide temperature swings are one of the great advantages of a desert climate. Enjoy!
