Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?

      Even last week when we had the 3 days of 100+ heat? When it’s above 85, I have terrible air circulation in my place and need to turn the AC on.

        I do! I am on the first floor of the building and get direct sunlight between 4 and 5pm from May to July. This keeps the place cooler in the summer, it’s like a cave.
