I feel for all the people at the low altitudes! It's nice to be up a little bit higher 
OMG COLD IN HERE!

Being in the Southern Hemisphere, it's a pretty comfortable temperature at this time of year, slightly chilly but nothing a layer or two of clothing won't solve. Six months from now, I'll be sitting in front of a fan wearing nothing but boxer shorts while all the windows are wide open. Almost no one has air conditioning in their homes here, unfortunately, we certainly don't.
It's the humidity that's the killer, makes 28 degrees C feel like 40, it gets to the point where you feel like doing nothing but sitting in front of a fan all February long. Unfortunately, I always come back to work in late January, after my summer holidays have ended

Are you kidding? Do you think that I like this weather? I hate the heat. And I love the rain. I just hate snow even more...and being unemployed yet more.Um...since when is 65 hot!? Even when I was living in the Northeast, that was comfortable at highest unless it was the dead of winter.
I challenge anyone bitching about the heat to move in with me, down here in sunny Texas, for a week.
Given how many times I've heard Crusher Disciple talk about how it never rains in your state, that is in no way a good thing. Rain is a vital part of producing food and if the land is not capable of producing food then it's not suitable for human life no matter what man made devices you use to make it more so.
If you could show me somewhere that had decent job opportunities for me and was basically 70 F year-round, I'd try to move there in a heartbeat.

Sorry, I that came out poorly. I was using your post to help demonstrate that humans aren't really supposed to live in such climates.
We move to areas that really aren't capable of supporting the local population and then install air conditioning and ship in food from elsewhere.

I'm pretty easy to please, temp wise, but would rather it be colder than warmer most times as that's more comfortable to me (year round) and it's generally easier to warm oneself up (with a sweater, long sleeves, etc.) than to cool oneself down.
That having been said, my office HVAC makes me crazy! It's like an icebox in my office in the morning, but by this time of day it really starts to heat up, as my office is on the west side of the building. Friday I literally soaked through my (short sleeved) shirt and had sweat running in rivers down my back.
And the maintenance people simply shrug and say there's nothing they can do about it. 
This thread made me laugh, but I knew I had to reply when I saw your post.
In the summertime we generally keep our house at about 71-72 when we're home, and set the thermostat to 75 for the dogs when we're at work. We've discovered that we've apparently created incredibly spoiled dogs in so doing. With it hot like this when we're outside, they'll initially want to come out with us but, before long, they're at the back door looking with those soulful lab eyes at us and then at the doorknob.
They'd rather be inside where it's cool.
We're going to my MIL's this weekend, and they love the ride and her acre + of land to romp around on ... but they hate that she doesn't have AC.
They'd never make it in the wild.

Yeah we put it on 74 and energy saver mode in our room for the pooch when we're at work. He's a spoiled one too. We were at a cookout on Sunday at a place without AC and he was a total mope.
I was in the field all morning until about 1 PM. Good Lord is it hot out there today! I ended up by the Chestnut Hill reservoir and was dying to jump into it.
Actually, if I stay in my current job for long enough and get transferred out of Customer Service, I'd be moving to somewhere not too far from there.

I have air conditioning in my apartment but it doesn't reach the bedroom yet I have no issues sleeping at all. I turn on the fan and I am fine.
My husband whines about it and can't sleep so we took our air mattress and set it up in the living room so he can sleep where the air conditioning is. I go sleep in the room because I'm not a baby and lived in a house for almost 20 years with no air conditioning so I am used to it.
He is from Vietnam so I have no idea how the hell he isn't used to a bit of heat and humidity.

I love the cold as well. In the winter, I keep a window open, and normally sleep in boxers, with just a sheet on top (maybe a fleece blanket if it gets really cold, but I still keep the window open). In the summer, I put a window fan in. It cools the room down a bit...but when it's humid, it's useless. It's been in the high 80s and humid for the past few days, so I've been sleeping in the basement on the old couch with a nice sized room fan blowing at me.
I like room temp to be consistently at 70-ish...I can live if it's a bit higher, but that's where I like it. The heat doesn't necessarily bother me, but it's the humidity that kills me. Unfortunately around here, it's normally humid when it's hot. We have an AC on the first floor, which cools most of that off nicely, but the upstairs is impossible to cool. My parents have an AC in their room, but it doesn't cool off anything else, even with the door open.
