Your mileage may vary. I live without air conditioning, but when it’s 30, I’m pretty tempted to defect. But I also tend to run hot.
It really depends on the humidity. 30 degrees in my dry hometown in central Spain is tolerable, 30 degrees with 90% humidity here in Japan where I live now is pure pain.
