July 19 was a poor day to pick if you are trying to make the point that 75F is typical at sunset. It appears that a gust front came through before some rain that started at about 8:30, which dropped the temperature significantly. I can show you numerous days during the summer where the temperature is in the mid to upper 80s (F) at 8:30PM. Also, temperatures rarely get to 100F here. Also, there is something wrong with your graph as it shows a constant 87F for 5 hours. The high for that day appears to be around 92F at about 5:30 but had also dropped to about 86F at 4:00 (depends on your exact location).

As you can see in the top graph, highs for the day were in low 90s which lasted from 1 to 6 pm. Sunset was at 8:23pm. By Prime sunset watching time of 8pm, temp was down to a pleasant 75 degrees. Typical summer temps are at their peak from 1 to 6 pm, during that time you deploy solar screens on west facing lanais which you can lift when sunset time arrives. |
