Uhm.. for me it helps, and A LOT. Surely there are more factors involved, which I'm not aware of. I'm talking from Fortaleza, Brazil. Maybe the sea is bringing cooler air. I really don't know, I only have these pieces of empirical knowledge and my experience is very narrow, basically limited to this city.

A large body of water near by certainly has a moderating effect on temperature. I looked up the climate data for Fortaleza, and compared it to my town (random US city, about 35 degrees northern latitude, so not super far south or anything.) Our average daily highs in summer are only about 1 degree (C) lower than your RECORD highs... your averages are about 9C lower than ours. Without AC here it would be...supremely unpleasant, and well other the threshold of danger for anyone with any sort of medical issues.

  Our air masses are probably cooler than yours because of the sea, I'm not sure. There seems to be more factors in operation.

  This is something that I don't think Europeans appreciate. Most of the USA is way hotter and way colder than most of Europe
