15. Yes. It does not cool off at night when it's humid.

When it's 85 or 90 at night and high humidity and you don't have A/C, you don't sleep. There is no evaporation, therefore no evaporative cooling. You have to have AC too take the water out of the air to make it tolerable as well as lower the temperature.

The only reason people have moved to the Sun Belt for jobs is that central air and car air conditioners make it bearable. You stay in your air conditioned house and go to your air conditioned car. If you go outside for any length of time you might pass out from the heat.

Yesterday our heat index was 105.

Right now it's almost ten o'clock, 85 degrees, 95% humuggity.
