Well, down here AC is kind of a must, whether it's window units or central units. Summers are ALWAYS hot. We have like maybe one week of spring like weather and then BAM it's hot LOL!! Seeing high 90s is the norm around here during the Summer with heat indexes near or above 100. It doesn't start to cool down until mid to late September.
Last year our Winter was weak and it was muggy and warm most of it. I LOVE the winter time, but when it's actually COLD haha! I especially love it when it snows (which is VERY rare).
