Over 26 degrees indoors is when it starts to get unlivable and requires cooling. And without ACs it gets that hot indoors in a lot of the world and in plenty of Europe during summers, not just in tropics.
- Sharlin 7y agoUncomfortable, perhaps, not unlivable. People somehow managed to live indoors without AC for millennia, and a few billion people are doing so right now despite living in regions where summer temps rise to the low 40s C. Relative humidity also plays a large part. 26 degrees C is nothing in a fairly dry climate.
