Came home to 27 inside with 45% relative humidity. Not sweating inside, A/C stays off for now I guess

Closed the downstairs air returns and opened all the ones upstairs, currently running with just the fan on. It's not too bad now that the sun has come down.

BALLERS
I think my house stays cooler than most because of trees around. We did splurge last night and turned on the ceiling fan 
Told her not to get used to it

Trees/shade definitely make a difference. We get undisturbed afternoon sun until sunset beating down on our living room and dining room. Also upstairs master bedroom. We caved yesterday as it gets unbearable. My parents in Mississauga (nice treed lot) can get by with windows open.

No AC yet -- just opened all the upstairs window when I came home -- the breeze from the outside is good enough.
We keep the blinds closed during the day so it's not as bad.

I saw 80 yesterday in the house. Woke up to 68 this morning. Big maple in the back yard really helps with the sun in the afternoon. Going to install a ceiling fan in the master (Replaced the old fan with a light, need to run some new wire)

When I saw 27 I was surprised how comfortable it was inside. All about that humidity. If it was 25 and 60% humidity no chance of ac staying off.

I'm thinking of doing two things to help this year with the heat on the second floor. The first one is easy enough which is to not only close the vents in the basement but to block them somehow. I know they have internal flaps but I'm thinking to stuff some towels or something in there to really block them off.
The second thing I've been contemplating for a long time and just never bit the bullet and thats to add more insulation to my attic. I currently have the blown in type. Anyone DIY?
I don't remember if your basement was finished, but don't block the vents. Basements get a lot more humid even though they are colder and by not allowing the damp air to re circulate the place will get mold

Depends...if he has a recent build, they come insulated as well. My vents in the basement are closed year round (not finished).

Wat?
Basements run more humid regardless...
Anyway for a finished basement I wouldnt block vents, but it's not my house.
Blocked vents over the winter are fine, in the summer it's a completely different ball game. Also the "savings" are hardly quantifiable.
