The cold air from the air conditioning is producing moisture inside the window frames

For the past month or so it has been ridiculously hot outside. We normally get some hot days during the summer, but you can typically count on the month of June being more pleasant than the subsequent summer months – not this year. We’ve had 90 degree days nonstop since the first days of June, and everyone has been using their air conditioning units like crazy to compensate for the heat and humidity. It’s been an expensive month for HVAC usage, and we’re all concerned about the excessive utility bills that are coming our way. That being said, no one I know is slowing down their AC usage in the least, because the alternative is to broil alive in our tiny apartments. I’m extremely grateful for the new air conditioning units that we purchased recently, because they are keeping the indoor air temperature much colder than we’ve been able to achieve in the past years. In fact, it’s been so delightfully cold indoors that sometimes I’ve been too cold at home. I keep wrapping myself in sweatshirts until I have to step outdoors, at which point it’s a mad rush to tear off any extra layers to deal with the summer heat. The temperature difference between the two environments has been so extreme that I’ve even noticed some crazy condensation in the windows lately. The cold air from the air conditioning is producing moisture inside the window frames. I see this as both a blessing and a curse, because I’m not excited to deal with the subsequent mold problem in a few months.
