And that's a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.

Guys, I've literally lived on a tropic. Not talking about specific places where heat in times of climate change is a real health issue.

I guess I got triggered by "northerners" lol I'm from long Island NY and it gets absolutely brutal in the summer. The NE gets surprisingly gross in the summer months

Sorry for the confusion. I used it loosely as in "people from the north hemisphere well above the tropic", even though, the A/C comment is in reference to the USA in general.

the A/C comment is in reference to the USA in general.

But what we are all saying is that it doesn't apply to the USA in general, it's different in different parts.
