Sunlight can be recognizably oppressive in the Summer depending on which agricultural zone you dwell in. My first trip to the south as a child illustrated this to me perfectly. I’ll never forget how it felt stepping off the plane as well as onto the jet bridge while I walked into the terminal through outdoor air. Even though the temperature was the same as it was in our lake house up north before the people I was with and I left on our trip earlier that day, it felt considerably hotter as the jet bridge was exposed to direct day sunlight. When my family as well as I eventually made it outside to the vehicle rental dealership, I was starting to sweat uncomfortably. It was only 85 degrees out, however it felt love it was 100! All of us visited the beach during our trip as well as I managed to get a extreme sunburn after being outside for less than an hour without a shirt or any sunscreen on my skin. It was exceptionally painful compared to the sunlight burns I had experienced before up north. Now that I’m living down here full time as an adult, I’m trying to mitigate the radiant heat from the sun’s UV rays during the day. Since my lake house has no shade or tree cover, the attic gets constant sunlight from daychop until dusk. As you’d assume, this makes my a/c run always in the Summer season during the day hours. It’s not even that I’m upset about my electric bill primarily; I just don’t want to see my a/c chop down years before it normally would. That’s why I added reflective foil insulation to my attic. It reflects 95% of radiant heat from UV rays. It’s also easy enough for someone to do it without professional help.
