In highschool gym class we would just sit in the shade under the bleachers during the summer (too hot to do anything) and be dripping sweat everywhere back in class. It was miserable.

It's just so miserable during the summer. The downside is that I'm only used to temperatures between 69 and 74 Farenheit, so I would be miserable in some place like Germany where they just live with the heat for a few weeks each year. I rented a house in Portland once without AC and it was during a heat wave. I'd douse myself in cold water, sit under the fan, and get very little sleep.

A hurricane just hit Louisiana and the grid damage has been extensive (worst on record) so no power or AC. My mother's house is 85 degrees inside at night so she's sleeping in her office which is in a nearby town with power. I haven't seen the numbers yet, but typically a lot of elderly people die in these conditions without AC.

The hurricane hit last Thursday I think and these are the current outages still in effect. Normally we would have power again in a couple of days in most non rural areas. The fact that it's been a full week and could be out for two more weeks is just unheard of.
