cold summer

I didn't get hot until mid July. We seldom had the windows open until then, and never at night. Finally, a few weeks ago, it got hot. Around 90, I think. Then it cooled off again. It's been doing that ever since. It'll get up to about 72° and down into the 50's at night. Then it will slowly warm up over the course of a week, until it's in the upper eighties. Then the temp will drop.

Usually, by mid June, I'll have my living room window open with a fan in it, but there have only been two days so far this summer that were warm enough that I felt I should have opened it. I didn't. I only open it once a year, so I want to be sure it warrants it. It's too much effort to close.
