So, if you have 100 degree air entering your system the output temperature will never be any lower than 80 degrees. As the intake air cools down the output air temperature will also be lowered so the cooling will improve the longer it runs. They key is to start it early enough before the temperatures get too extreme.

Thanks for sharing. I also find the impact of humidity on AC performance interesting, especially since I live in an area known for high humidity. In unwired's case, there appears to be a condition of high humidity (difference between temp and heat index (feels like). This would further reduce the cooling ability of the AC unit below the 20 degree maximum.
