I'm in NJ. It's 90 degrees in my apartment at 10:09 a.m.

9. Are you working from home?

We are, and during the recent heat wave (with unbearable humidity) that lasted for ten days or so in the mid 90s, I found myself unable to think and concentrate. Mind just melted, brain wouldn't work right.

We had central air for the first time when I was in my mid-fifties and moved to a place that, by coincidence, had it. Inability to cope with heat and humidity grows each year for me now.

So we've been running the AC this summer, and I don't particularly like the feel of AC. But it's kind of necessary if you need to get things done during the daytime. We set it at 76 or 77, and that sometimes gets too cold for us, so then we turn it up a degree to shut it off, and then soon we are hot and turn it back down a degree ... and so it goes. But it's a lifesaver, frankly.
