I've heard people from Florida say that it would be impossible to survive in summer without an air-conditioner. Is this true? I guess the humidity is just ridic

  I mean I suppose it's possible to suffer heat related injuries or dehydration, but people have survived in equal or worse climates, so I assume you dont mean that literally. Generally though, the heat is pretty bad, particularly if you're stuck inside with no AC. I've had a couple rounds of that and its certainly not comfortable at all. Honestly I'm sick of southeastern weather.

  Not literally impossible, but, yes, Florida is miserable without air-conditioning. You can get by in the coastal areas if the building is designed to make the most of the sea breeze. But anywhere away from the coast is hot, humid, and bug-infested. You need the windows open to cool the building, but then the bugs come in. The population of the entire state was very low until after the invention of air-conditioning. The population roughly doubled between 1940 and 1960.
