87f at 7:40 pm here in NY....This will most likely be our hottest day of the year. It got up to 95f. The majority of people here do not have central AC, and many don't even own a portable unit....and the majority are 2 story homes that get toasty upstairs. Back in the old days before AC they used to have sleeping porches, and people would drag their mattresses out there on these nights.

Old Southern homes had windows that opened top and bottom and went nearly ceiling to floor and sun exposed sides had big porches for shade. Lived in a 13 room house with porch that went 80% all round that shaded first floor windows.
That was the wealthy house in the South.
Cabins and slapped together shacks that many lived in, not so much.
Haunted as hell!
