But...I grew up with swamp cooling in my homes.
Last night was brutal. The outside low only hit 71F. That makes me
think more fondly about A/C. I don't expect much more of that, this
Summer. It's hard to part with a method that you've used forever.
Old age sucks!

I would think 71 would be low enough to cool things down significantly. My AC is set for 76.   Normally I would open the windows at night when it cooled down below that set temperature but today we were hit with the smoke from the wild fires and we have been advised to stay indoors with AC and an air filter if you have one.

 The low here is the same as Leo's.  Normally, our lows are in the 60's this time of year, but I still find that a box fan in the window at night cools everything off plenty.  I would use a swamp-cooler like Leo if I could, but Ohio's climate is just too humid.

Our lows this week vary considerably with a range from 74 to 75.
Highs will be 90 to 94
Could not survive without AC  Swamp coolers don't work here.
