Question

If it is 95 degrees outside and it is 95 degrees in my attic,is that ok?Or should it be cooler in my attic?

Answer 1

as long as attic is vented not much more you can do-its normally hotter

Answer 2

Unless you have vents to direct AC into an attic, you're lucky it's only the temp that it is outside.  Often It's a lot hotter in the attic, due to no ventilation.

Answer 3

You must have gable end vents and or roof vents if that is all the hotter it is.  That is OK and natural.

Answer 4

it is hot upstairs in my house too. it should be hot, because warm air rises, but it shouldnt be the same temp. inside as outside... u should install an airconditioner or get a mini fan, especially if you are working up there... it maybe 95 degrees but it can feel like 101.

Answer 5

Attics need to be no hotter that 120 degrees Fahrenheit. If yours is over you should consider putting in an attic fan or some whirly birds on your roof.

Answer 6

well since heat rises, i think it should actually be hotter in your attic.

Answer 7

actually it is usually hotter in the attic
