Waves,
I remember my mother complaining about the commuter air conditioned subway cars in NYC in the mid 1990s. The subway stations were hotter than outside at street level (due to machinery and all), and she felt that no a/c on the trains might have been better than having to deal with the very hot transition from the train through the station to the street level.

Here, mid-June in the low 90 s feels hot with humidity in the high 80% s.
Generally, both those numbers stay fairly constant until Oct.
June is weird because people complain and complain . . . because they have not accommodated yet to the high temps.
Right now folks are in the whining mode.
By August, we just go with the flow of being hot ALL THE TIME.
My complaint is about the RAIN. I believe that we are getting more this year than last year and last year was a record year.
