We didn't get a/c, in our cars or our home, until I was well into my teens. (I grew up here in this same area.) I honestly don't believe it was as hot then, at least not for such prolonged stretches. I don't remember even complaining that much about the heat. We had an attic fan that we ran at night, and that pulled cool air in through the windows. Now, though, there IS no cool air to be pulled in at night.
When I went for my walk at 6 a.m. this morning, it was 75F but with 85% humidity. If I go out much earlier I may as well just walk in the middle of the night!
