In places like Houston, which is effectively built on reclaimed swamplands, it's not the just the temperature, the humidity plays a huge part too. When it's 40C and humidity is at 100% and wet bulb temperatures are approaching 30+C, lack of AC becomes a life threatening problem. It becomes practically impossible to cool off and maintain a safe body temperature, especially for the very young, chronically ill, or elderly people.
