Here is a temp graph for TV on July 19, 2017.

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. |
To show a temperature graph without a humidity graph Vs how hot do you feel is almost meaningless. I will illustrate. We used to environmentally test our products for certification worldwide. Three zones are pretty much considered within normal ranges for to get the certification
1- standard = 72 degrees F and 45% relative humidity
2- cool = 60 degrees F 20% rh
3- hot = 80 degrees F 80 % rh
We had operators paid to run the equipment usually in 10 - 12 hour shifts. When at 80/80 the operators got paid a differential like shift workers would get paid for a night shift.
90 degrees F 10% rh is very comfortable 90 degrees F 90% rh unbearable to me.
