Bitch, my AC is set to 28C right now, and the outside temp is 38C. It's the coolest day of the week, the other day it was 40C IN THE FUCKING SHADES! Flip flops are literally melting under your feet as you walk on the sidewalk.

There are winters days that hot in South Africa, with the minimum temperature dropping below close to freezing/0°C on the same day. And most people don't have air conditioning or well insulated houses, and life goes on. It's not that big a deal. Now summer on the other hand, where the minimum temperature can be above 20°C, those are painful, especially as most don't have air conditioning.
