The low here is the same as Leo's.  Normally, our lows are in the
60's this time of year, but I still find that a box fan in the window
at night cools everything off plenty.  I would use a swamp-cooler
like Leo if I could, but Ohio's climate is just too humid.

Our lows this week vary considerably with a range from 74 to 75.
Highs will be 90 to 94
Could not survive without AC  Swamp coolers don't work here.

 
The people who lived in Florida 100 years ago sure must have been tough!

Anyone who lived anywhere in the Southern (and even in the Northern, I
dare say) states had it tough back then.  You aren't even accounting for
the ridiculous amount of layered clothing they wore.  People didn't run
around wearing shorts and t-shirts back then.  Even casual dress
required multiple layers of clothing.  Uncomfortable?  Had to be.

 
It was.  Just ask any member of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
