Eh, no real need for AC in Madison (or West Lafayette). A couple weeks at the beginning of the fall semester might be a little toasty, but the rest of the school year you'd have more need for heat than AC.


On the fourth floor of the civil engineering building up until October and starting again in April, with the sun beating on the black roof... Same in the Ag Engineering building.

Taking exams and sweating on the answer sheet sucks.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I found Madison summers highly muggy and didn’t mind AC. The data says it almost never got above 90, but I swear it got toasty. 

Then I came South of the Mason-Dixon and good gosh almighty.

It might be possible that the process of the PoA all began with climate control.
Nah, just a rolling process. Every generation thinks it’s more special than they one that comes after (and when it’s young, thinks it’s more special than the one that came before)

Where I come from, Spring lasts like 4 minutes, and you go from snow to 80 like.. RIGHT NOW. And then you go back to snow. Screw that.

Fall is a bit better, but snow in October sucks. Screw that too.

Then winter... You don't see the sun but for a few days, from November through March. Double screw that.

I suppose a place like Nashville would be a good spot for you.
But man, Madison spring, that’s a great 3 weeks.

I grew up without real seasons. Cool but not downright cold winters. Dry summers that didn’t get too hot. Brisk and cool every morning. Always for that (there were fewer weird forest fires back then)

Each morning I bring up my weather report, and every day this week Atlanta has had lower Ts than Cincy, and lower RH as well, and that is not unusual I find.  Summers here just last longer than there.

Right now it's 95°F and 45% RH in both places, oddly enough, I think today is the hottest it's been all summer.

We've only broken 100 3x this entire summer, it's been very mild.

Currently it's 97 and 39%.  This is about the hottest we'll see this week, with temps dropping to the lower 90s later in the week.

AC has been around since the 50s so I don't think it's that. 

All through human history people just dealt with the temp as best they could, now all of a sudden no one wants to go outside if it's over 80 because it's too hot, and no one wants to go outside if it's under 70 because it's too cold. It's turned everyone into a bunch of useless wimps.

The first modern air conditioner was invented in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier, a skilled engineer who began experimenting with the laws of humidity control to solve an application problem at a printing plant in Brooklyn, NY

I'd agree it became more widely spread in the 50s.

At the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, organizers used mechanical refrigeration to cool the Missouri State Building. The system used 35,000 cubic feet of air per minute to cool the 1,000-seat auditorium, the rotunda and other rooms within the Missouri State Building. It marked the first time the American public was exposed to the concept of comfort cooling. A big breakthrough in comfort cooling technology came in the 1920s, when Americans flocked to movie theaters to watch Hollywood stars on the silver screen.  

Early cooling systems for public theaters were essentially heating systems modified with refrigeration equipment that distributed cold air through floor vents, resulting in hot, muggy conditions at upper levels and much colder temperatures at lower levels, where patrons sometimes resorted to wrapping their feet with newspapers to stay warm. In 1922, Carrier Engineering Corporation installed the first well-designed cooling system for theaters at Metropolitan Theater in Los Angeles, which pumped cool air through higher vents for better humidity control and comfort throughout the building.

It all started with paved roads.  We should go back to driving on goat trails.
Wait!  Most cars have A/C, so we should walk on thos goat trails.
Anyone who can't walk from St. Louis to Sacramento in 6 months, making it over the Sierra Nevada before the snows block the trails, is just a stinkin' wimp!

That was Cincy's trek to grade school each morning.

Hyperbole is fun, but yeah. Few people alive today would last one week as a pioneer traversing the west.
