Depending on where you live, some of us are already in the thick of it when it comes to summer heat and humidity. For the rest of us, it’s coming,
Be prepared for days that are unbearably hot and humid, especially if you don’t have central air. If you don’t get humidity, hot is hot and you’re going to need to cool down for your own health and safety.
I have central air in my home and Cleveland, where I live, experienced a heat wave not too long ago. On those hot days and nights, sometimes my central air is working overtime and doesn’t cool the upstairs. That’s where a portable air conditioner comes in. It’s perfect for a specific room you want to cool down -- and quickly.
Invest in a portable/standup air conditioner. I have one strictly for my bedroom. Being hot makes it so much harder to fall asleep.
