I live in Scotland. It never gets that warm. 20C or 68F. I always found it odd on visits to the USA having to put on a jersey in my hotel room in summer as the A/C made it feel much too cold. I usually switched it off , but the housemaids kept putting it back on.

I grew up in New Orleans, where the temperature and humidity get close to 100 simultaneously, and the mosquitoes are as big as frogs. A/C is a necessity for survival there. It's claimed that Houston would be an obscure village without a/c.
We're having a brutal heat wave in SF now, 71F at 3PM. There are actually people outdoors in tee shirts.
Phoenix would be a whistle stop on the train line and the state government would still be in Prescott. My AC there ran all the time - but it was 101F at midnight.
