Had my A/C on till half an hour ago. Its cooler outside now than my a/c temp. The unit automatically switched off, and I have opened up the windows. 77.2 F indoors but only 75 F outside, at 9:00 PM .
A/C is for sissies. It is expected to hit 40C/104F here this week. No A/C because it's not necessary if your house is built right. Open all the windows at night, and the house is 15C by morning (or 13C as it was this morning). Close everything up, and enjoy a cool day in the house.

Dry air is nothing compared the high dewpoints though.

That's exactly the procedure here when the heat comes.
I have central a/c but I need to save some money this summer, so I installed a 5,000 BTU window unit in my smallest bedroom. I run it on the coldest setting from 8 pm to 8 am. It gets down to 68 degrees F (or lower most nights) and adds about $24/mo to the electric bill, worth every penny because I need my sleep!
At night, I open all of the windows and thermo drapes in other rooms and I close them again in the morning first thing, and that keeps the house bearable until about 3 pm, if the temps are less than 87 degrees F.
My rule: when the daytime outside temps are 90+ for 48 hours or longer, then I will run the house central a/c for a limited time to displace the "heat bubble." Otherwise, I'm getting by with the window unit.
The thread title/poll question is different. Without AC, living room / kitchen temp can easily reach 27-28 C (80-82 F) while with AC set at 18C (64F) my bedroom stays around 20-25 C (68-77F), on the cooler side for sleeping, "normal temp" I voted is normal temp reached without AC in the rest of the house which is usually around 27 degrees C

I don't get how the actual temperature is so different from the thermostat temperature. I guess what is happening is it's chilly right next to the A/C and it's set cold so the rest of the area gets a little cold. You have only room air conditioners in bedrooms?
My room temperature typically oscillates between 12°C (bedtime temp on chilly winter days) and 28°C (bedtime temp on warm summer days). On a normal year, the extremes are around 9°C and 31°C. I still don't have a fan, but it might help on these warm evenings.
If I had AC, I'd ideally set it to around 21°C, though I'd probably end up setting it to 25°C to save some bucks.
Do you have A/C in your new place near Nice?
