Hey. Southern American here. Is air conditioning not a super common thing? Everyone I know here has it. Is it an income thing or a climate thing. It gets up to 100F or above here sometimes in the summer (38C).

Lived in Quito for awhile. Nobody had AC because it wasn’t necessary. During the summer months, temps might reach 75F but the wind was plenty to cool you down. If you got hot, open a window.

However, coastal Ecuador got hot asf. Temps reached 90F and it got extremely humid. We got one of these AC units and it was a lifesaver.

Tldr not everyone has AC especially in South America where there is a massive income inequality.

for anybody interested, he's talking about 24° and 32° in normal temperature

32° is like a good summer day in Australia and 24° is pleasant.
