Living in a Metro, where a 100,000++ AC units are transferring the HOT Air from inside to the outside areas, is only adding to the Heat problem.

Some, What If Math to chew on:
Say the average person has a 323 sq/ft AC cooled area. That 323 square feet (30 sq/meters) per person being pushed back outside.

Now using 323 x Metro Population = Heat being added/focused to the outside.

#7 It's quite comfortable here on the southern California coast. We had a little monsoon activity this morning. That was fun. It might get all the way to 80 this afternoon.
