Even if my air conditioner was still functional, its output, the attic-based tubing used to push the air around, and the cheaply-built and leaky house to which it all attaches would never be able to keep out the heat.

Also the outside end of the heat pump wouldn't be able to cool off, so it wouldn't be making any cool air inside anyway. The tipping point there seems to be way lower than the numbers above, around 50 C / 120 F.

Huh, that’s a good point. Never considered that.
