I didn’t have AC until I was almost an adult in the late 90s. It regularly gets to be about body temperature outside, with humidity, in the summer. Heat waves can sometimes be 110f/43c. When I first lived in a home with AC I was freezing and had to wear long sleeves all summer. I have since acclimated, but my wife and kids who have always had AC freak out if it gets to be 80f/27c.
I got AC when I moved out, prior to that I lived in an old single-wide trailer in the middle of a field… It was always hot but being near the GA/FL line didn’t help lol.
None at all, it was a pretty bare bones trailer, we had to replace a lot of flooring but that was more just adding a layer of wood we pulled out of an abandoned house. So pretty much a metal box in a big open field.
We all come from somewhere, sometimes I catch myself thinking fondly of the simplicity of the time, though ultimately I’m glad I moved out as soon as I could.

A lot of public spaces in the usa set their air conditioning to bone chilling levels. Especially restaurants and hospitals.
The hospitals argue it helps control bacteria growth, and the restaurants do it because the kitchen becomes a sauna in the summer.

Did your home have awnings? I have heard that just keeping the sun off is most of the work.

Well, I’m glad you made it out of there.
