I woke up this morning to find that the cold water from all my faucets is lukewarm, which was not the case last night. I live in Florida, and while the hot side heats up quickly, there seems to be a problem with the cold water throughout the house. How can I troubleshoot this situation? What should I do?

Have you tried pouring some of that lukewarm water over ice? It'll cool right down. Just a fun little tip to keep things chill while you figure out what's going on!
Hey there! Since you’re in Florida and it’s summer, the warm weather could definitely be affecting your cold water supply. The tap water can get pretty warm, especially if it's sitting in pipes exposed to heat. It's been my experience that as summers get hotter, the cold water can feel warmer than we expect. Just a thought!
You might want to check if the nearest tap to your water supply is warm too. If it is, then the issue could be with how the water is getting to your house. If it's cool there, it might be something specific with your plumbing or insulation.
