When you live in a humid climate in a poorly insulated building, with no natural ventilation, AC makes a lot of sense. My bedroom is often 5+ degrees warmer than the outdoor temperature, so it's stifling without at least a short blast of AC.

New Orleans - Yeah, the AC's staying on.

Hey friend. Baton Rouge here. Can confirm. Ungodly hot. 95 and up all July and the lows never below 80, even at night. The humidity makes it feel more like 110. I work outside at a plant and I absolutely hate this time of year. Counting the days until late September.
