nebris~It is presently 105° and 13% humidity. That is not a comfortable ratio.
I learned something about swamp coolers the other day. They're only good for reducing the ambient temperature by about fifteen to twenty degrees, depending upon the humidity. Given the above temp - and the relative humidity - that means the air the swamp cooler is blowing in right now is somewhere in the range of 85° and 90°. That's better than a straight 105°, but it sure the fuck ain't comfortable.
Nothing beats the pure cold air of AC. *sigh*
