Our area has comfortable temperature throughout the year except for some of the summer days that may get hot during daytime. During the hot summer days we have furnished our bedrooms and living space with fans; with the fans running and the windows open together can help increase circulation and ventilation to keep the house cool. Temperature normally drops down to low/mid 60s by nightfall so the house will cool down quite a bit or can be chilly at night. (Note the temperature control panel is for heating in winter!)
