I'm glad we have a cool summer, just a few hot days. We get up to 90 F and no one here has AC, it's simply not part of the culture. People do not even invest in a table fan (as I have done). Opposite to that, on the hottest days they often go out to fry in the sun. Complaining about it being hot is next to illegal here. And the weather man always calls really hot weather "good weather".

I feel quite different to people living here having problems with the heat. People here thrive on it. Still, hearing someone thinking 85 F is AC weather is strange even for me. I'm probably damaged by my sun/heat worshiping culture, but the need to keep a constant of say 70 F is foreign to me.
