>, I'm actually trying to escape the heat, which sometimes gets as high as 46C here. The setting on my home AC is 22C.

wait what? how does the weather outside have any bearing on what your comfort temperature inside should be? i mean, if you think 26C is comfortable, why would you need to turn it down to 22C in CA, where it's probably even drier?
