I was looking at it from an European standpoint.

Nah, I'm in Europe too and my external thermometer last night recorded a minimum temperature of 26,6°C, it's on the wall so real temperature was probably 25. My apartment is at the last floor of an old building, so insulation isn't good..

My roller shutters (external, real European ones) and awnings are automated to maximize airflow and reduce sunlight exposure, but in August my AC never turns off.
