I can still remember living in the Midwest as a child - with no A/C - we got to stay up late at night in hopes of some cool air entering the bedrooms - or the hot air from the day moving out. We had a couple of window & floor fans to move the air. Everyone was just used to sweating and staying out of the sun.
