Not well at all lately. It's been around 90 and above often here.
Several days last week the heat index has been over 100F. I'd take a
high of 82F any day and be very happy with it. That's a cool summer
day here.

Often in the summer, I leave for work at 6am and it's almost 80F and
humidity in the 90s and dead calm winds. I'll start sweating just
walking 100 feet from my front door to my van. And if I'm working
outside, using ladders all day, in the sun, I come home in soaking wet
clothes. Same thing working inside on a new house with no AC. July
is bad here and August is the worst time for heat and humidity.

You better believe I turn on my AC first thing when I get home in the
afternoon. I can work in the heat and humidity but I won't even try
to sleep in it.
