Yow… 83 F and 52% humidity upstairs bedroom, basement here I come. My heat pad story sounded better.

If I were to guess I’d say your home might have had some remodeling or repair work done in the late 60s or very early 70s. There was a crippling copper shortage due to a south African copper mine strike so wire manufactures switched to aluminum for branch circuits for a while. Gap stop fix but a bad idea without proper training on connections which has haunted us since. Service entrance and feeder circuits AL wire is fine but not branch circuits. Terrible terrible stuff for that application. Paul

P.S. I can give you tips to be alert to with AL wiring if you need advice.

Traveller is both a cool and warm guy.

My upstairs back bedroom...is always cool, the sun rises on the other side of the house. 82.8 Degrees? Without opening widows or what not, door closed, it also stays warm due to the thick, very solid 1935 built lath and plaster walls, by bedtime temp will be 75 and stay that way all night.....so dense I can't even hang pictures without a tungsten bit drill.

For Paul, there wasn't that much electricity in 1935, I was lucky to have one plug outlet per room. Oddly, some of the house was and is wired with aluminum, other parts with copper. Damned if I know why except for cost cutting maybe...?

To finalize this Nour.ish tale, the 82.8 is the actual bedroom temp because I did not open a window or upstairs balcony door during the day...the 52 is the rooms humidity. I have no outside thermometer. (but my laptop always tells me that in the screens lower right corner.

Best Wishes, Traveller (who has neither central air or central heat)

Per accuweather. LA will have a high today of 74, a low of 60.

Neither number shown makes any sense to me.

I think it’s saying 82 inside and 52 outside. Question is why is it so blasted warm inside when it’s that cool outside. Did you leave the heat pad for your aching back turned on and draped over the alarm clock? Paul

82F indoors and 52F outdoors?

One more example of why this is called the information age.
I assume the 82 deg is outside in LA.
Unclear to me now what the 52 is for.

That's a lot of information.
