Before you guys bail out, when AC is completely out of our lives, FL is very doable. Pioneers did it. I was in high school before we got AC in our home and our schools didn't have AC.
Once the power is out, acclimation will take place in a matter of weeks. I am more afraid of winters up north...
yup.
no ac in my hs and that was the 90's lol .
you gotta learn to adapt to it.
i work outside 90% ofthe day. i do love me some ac though. but lt only takes a lil to change.
instead of that tstat set at 68..bump it to 73...then 75...the 76,,,
theres times that 78 feels good to us.
now i like to sleep cold,,,so its gotta be 75 at least.
if it wasnt for the bugs right now in my area windows will be open.
by the time night temps drop into the 60's is when the windows get open.
once day temps get around 75 its the same.
just acclimate yourself to it.
in about 2-3 days youll get used to it.
i used to host hikes this time of year..youd be surprised how cold you are on day 3 in the AM vs that 1st day..90+ daytime and then straight to 74 is like waking up in a cooler lol .
we did the 7 days on lts/st food years ago...and we camp a bunch.
no electric to us is "camping with carpet"
