64. I live in Pittsburgh

...and it rarely goes over 90 here. June is mostly rain - almost every day.
By July the rain goes away and we get some hot days, but it usually cools down at night.

Last summer I didn't even put my air conditioner in. Waiting to see if I'll need it this year.

I guess I'm saying this is great compared to you guys out West.
I've just retired and have no plans to move anywhere south.
Our weather is pretty great here, it's just that we don't get a lot of sun.
