When I walked in the house today it was at about 45 degrees celcius. Now it's down to about 35, soon to get to around 23. That should about do it for us. We don't leave the aircon on when we're not home.

For economy reasons or not liking to leave machines running when you're out or....?

We tried both turning the AC off in the day and keeping it on and didn't notice any difference in the electricity consumprion, so we opted for keeping the house cool/dry as it's so much nicer to walk into. We use the AC more for the humidity than the heat. A dry heat is bearable. When I say cool, I mean about 77F/25C.

My previous answer was for winter.
