There is an unprecedented heat wave happening right now in the PNW and western Canada. Those areas do not historically experience the extreme high temperatures that are occurring right now. Records are being broken . Because this heat is not the norm, a great deal of us don’t have AC because it was never a necessity. Where I live we only get about 5 hours of darkness. It starts to cool after dark but the sun is up in a few hours. Having the oven on just adds to the already unbearably hot house.
