I was raised in New Jersey where the Summers were an easy 89F 89%. The only AC was at the 'State Theater' (the towns movie house). Construction did not stop because it got 'warm', (Granted, Nothing like down where Apache lives
)
My first Job was delivering inter-office mail in downtown LA (Ca) area where summer days often broke 100F (the Humidity was loooow) and Mail sacks were 80lbs. All the employers were required to supply was water fountains (bubblers) in buildings. (I believe construction/outdoor workers brought their own in their lunch pail)
