Hot temps maintenance protocols for me in Southern California:
- When indoors: Air condition is set at 55 degrees Fahrenheit/12.8 degrees Celsius because our temps can easily be in the 80s by mid-morning and around sunset, depending on location.
- When outdoors at the height of the sun: Sun protection ensembles and accessories are my preference.
- At all times: Staying well-hydrated is paramount.

55??? Really? I'm in a hot area and if I set it below 70 I'm wearing sweats indoors its so chilly...and it could be 99 outside.
Just curious maybe I just run cold2 -

To "stay young."
With the norms we women wear in Summer as our wears indoors, I do too, only with the add-on I've qualified as my loungewear accessory; A cashmere wrap. To be fair, I have a high tolerance for winter climes.1 -
55⁰, lol.3

I almost-accidentally bought a house with a pool and it’s the best in the summer heat. I hate all the costs to maintain it but it feels worthwhile when I’m in it1

Don't like heated pools either, when working through my night-time swimming drills at the height of winter.2 -
Q: "How are you keeping cool?"
A: "I'm Not."2 -
mainly my hypothalamus2

LOL the 80's being hot.1
-
pretty much just try to stay inside all day and out of the sun.
neck gaiter/mask combo that you can soak with cold water and wring out and then wear around your neck.
cold showers
room darkening curtains- these help tremendously.
bag of ice on the back of your neck at home.2 -
Sadly today, in an over air-conditioned office.
It is too hot to want to be outside right now, except somedays in the evening after the sun has gone down, but I shouldn't have to wear a sweater inside.3 -
Pretty much walk back and forth from the cooler at work, so I’m good2

Right?
We just broke a record here for the most annual days with the high temperature of at least 110 F.
Today will be day number 35.
This is just August 10, so we have several more weeks in August, and September ain't no prize either.
80 F would be a wicked cold-snap.2 -

68 - 70 F (around 20 C) is a good setting. A setting of 55 F will not work. It's unlikely the unit can do it, and you'll just waste electricity.0 -

Likely doesn't work for your unit. Are you still in the Caribbean to care about electricity usage? Recooling system plus insulation is ALWAYS questionable technology in the islands, no matter the bed of water ( Caribbean or Pacific). Thank G-d for American upgrades.2 -

Everything about cool, I learned from my dog. Dogs are the coolest. They prefer shaded areas and like swimming in the paddling pool. Protect your paws from scalding hot surfaces and don't go barefoot on the hot pavement. It burns their pads and yours. Protect yourself and them from heat stroke. Panting, glazed eyes, rapid pulse, lack of coordination and gasp...loss of consciousness. Put damp towels down for everyone to lie on. Cold water to drink and sprinklers. Dogs, dogs, dogs.

I'm in America and my bill would be ridiculously high if I set thermostat at 55 degrees ... if i kept it at 70 itd be around $200. But I guess if you're willing to pay🤷♀️2 -
I like to snuggle up with a nice set of cold boobs. You know like when you squeeze them they're like a bag of sand...?...3

Aww I'm so sorry that you're having to closely watch your use of electricity. Am cutting in on behalf of my sister since she's been crazy-busy since 9 ish our am. In our parts of Southern California, most of our new builds have installed alternative green power technology, so it is common to be owed money by the power company. The water companies however, be they private or public are price-gougers. Friends who haven't turned to green technology do have high electricity bills for heating their pools and hot spas. They can pay from anything around $600 to $1000 plus monthly.2
