Summer heat has been the worst this 2023

Correct. The knock on effect of that would be a worldwide nuclear winter. Given a choice between dealing with the impacts of climate change or a nuclear winter, I’d prefer the former not the latter.

Wtf kind of rabble rousing and fear mongering is this.

I like the part that says the closer to the equator, the less impact of global warming

The climate change discussion is taking the thread off topic. No more posts about climate change issues.

Well then, how do we discuss the hottest year in 125??

Not allowed to talk about what caused it

You have to know, since I did not intervene yesterday, that my issue is with the turn of the thread this morning to the controversy surrounding the reality of climate change and not the effects being seen in current weather patterns.

That helps me understand

Gracias

Some people would rather watch Cable News than go outside and look up............

I'm just happy we are in the Christmas season and soon las brisas de navidad will be upon us. When i got here in 2004 it was hot. It's been hot since then. I was born naked in the snow, so that's kind of hard to flush out of the DNA, but here in DR, the AC, hot morenitas and an ice cold Presidente, (brought to us by our friends at the Cerveceria Nacional Dominicana), help tremendously to forget the heat. Have a blessed day!

My MIL, recently died and her house still has the fridge plugged in, a two battery inversor, and washing machine used every Saturday, so about 4 times a month. Bill is around 750. We had a 5000 peso bill for our house in August, using a lot of AC. That is several thousand more than normal. This month our bill was 1508 pesos.

Something is fishy(?). The disparities are just too great.

Someone may have piggybacked on your line. Have someone check it..........

This summer we ran 2 12000 btu inverter AC's every night. During the tough heat of the last two months I ran one of the units around 14 hrs/day. Two fans running, fridge, and a clothes washer that's abused. The highest bill was 5300 pesos. This is in Santiago with Edenorte.

It's possible someone has piggybacked on your line as another poster stated.

I'm in a condo so that's hard to do, but I did have it checked. I also had the meter swapped. If you only run the A/C at night, I can see possibly getting down into the 5000 peso range.

nope, just in we had three a/c units on half the day and all night.

Have you compared your bill with anyone eles's in the Condo to see how it stacks up?

Don't ever let them change your meters and count your lucky stars.

Most here don't use A/C(I don't know how they do it in the summer) or will only use it at night. Those that use the A/C 24/7 have bills equal to mine and even higher.

The way my house, and the two houses across the street that are also ours are situated it is very difficult if not impossible for somebody to do an illegal tapin.
