It was very bad in Seattle, most building AC systems couldn't even keep up with the load. Lots of wildlife certainly died, there were so many heartbreaking posts about finding dead cats and birds.

Same in Vancouver. The hotel I stayed at couldn’t get the room to go below 25C - about 80F. Extremely uncomfortable, albeit better than 95F outdoors.

  Have you acclimated yourself to 20C/86C using AC that 25C/80F is uncomfortable?

    Nobody here has AC to acclimate themselves to that, 20C is a more normal temperature for Vancouver.

      I don't live that far up north but I'm just a bit surprised 25C is considered uncomfortable, especially if it's only a short way from usual room 22C.

  25C vs the over 40C in monday is heaven

To think that a few years ago some design firm were firmly convinced they could build an office building there without AC. http://archive.kuow.org/post/modern-seattle-building-doesn-t-have-ac-purpose http://archive.kuow.org/post/modern-seattle-building-doesn-t...
