That number almost certainly includes my state WA, with its 8.5 months of rain, and only 3 and a half nice months in which there are just 4-7 summer days when an AC would really be needed. While we usually wear raincoats for Christmas instead of snowcoats, cold snaps are getting more and more severe and common, and on some years these days we have a difference of up to 80 degrees between the coldest day (usually in February) and the hottest (usually in July).
Not sure where in Washington you are, but from Portland to Everett we had 3 months of over 70 weather, and many, many days over 80 this summer. My house doesn’t have tree cover and gets warm, even though I have brand new r40 insulation on my attic. I ran my portable AC nearly every day to keep my bedroom cool enough to sleep.
