But, the thing is…we average over 46% humidity in the afternoon any given month of the year and over 78% in the morning. HOWEVER the number of “extreme” temperature days averages around 37 per year…whereas, Tucson averages 143 days.

So, maybe it’s that when those “extreme” temperature days do come around, it’s more of a shock — add in the humidity and that just makes it a bit worse. We don’t get to 115-120, but 103 with the humidity is still not fun to be out in.

OH - one other thing I’ve noticed is that in Tucson, they build houses and buildings to help that. Houses are built, in my experience WAY better there for cooling. I remember my house in Tucson stayed cool - maybe it was better insulated, bigger A/C’s, etc…but here, my AC runs all day long and doesn’t get below 80 degrees inside…it just can’t keep up. A lot of people I’ve talked to experience the same thing.

From what I’ve heard, the linksys routers aren’t good when it comes to multiple streams. You know - when I stayed at Brian’s for the summer, his linksys locked up too — we kept having to reboot the thing.
