     Most of the country, yes, but there are a few very dry regions (in the center and northeast, mostly, Brasilia regularly gets health warnings for extremely low humidity for example).

     I live in California.... 90F to 110F+ four months a year. AC is life.

     I have AC but I also have shutters, so today for example there's already no need for air conditioning. I think that having no external shutters or blinds is a much bigger problem than having no AC most of the time, and maybe 20% of houses in Belgium have those.

     40C is common over there in the summer even in the south where I'm from, but we build for it, so almost everyone from low middle class up has venetian blinds (lets the air in keeping the sun out) and air-gapped double walls. Airco used to be a rich people thing until fifteen years ago or such, but it's much more common now, especially in apartments. I went through most of my life there without it and remember only one summer of real discomfort for a few days.
     
     Also the country basically stops from Christmas to Carnaval, and forty degrees is not as bad if you're drinking ice-cold beer at the beach or by the pool, tbh.

     Wow. 40° Celsius is 104° Fahrenheit, which is also common in this part of Texas in the summer, but it's those temps plus the high humidity that kicks your ass. I'd imagine it's pretty humid in Brazil as well.

     @ergo @Titanbreakerkun @cjd NIGGER it is not "jUst 2 wEeKs", ok? Its at least three months where heat waves can take place (Im Belgian). Often it is too hot for at least a month. On top of that, our homes are built to fucking RETAIN the heat, so even if the heat wave is over, the heat fucking lingers inside much longer. I needed a fan for 3 months last year just to be able to fall asleep. What do you think the current state is of my home?
     
     I fucking hate this sumbitch of a "hurr durr its only 26 degrees Celcius for 3 hours why you need ac for that" argument pushed by anti AC ecowarrior niggerfaggots who use paper straws to sniff their own CO2 neutral farts.

     @Titanbreakerkun @cjd I think it's just that people don't want to spend money on something that will only be useful 2 weeks per year

     @cjd I'm sure there is some logical explanation behind it, I just found it fucking funny after the past few days of AC discussion here on the fedi, and on twitter.
     
     I'm in the EU, and I can not for the life of me understand the resistance some people have to getting a AC unit, sure there some Net Zero laws in place in some countries, but regular folks seem to think they are saving the planet or some shit by not getting one, as if heat is a zero sum game.

     There's actually a better explanation for this than "For The Lulz": If the AC system was at capacity, disabling some zones would allow the other zones to be kept colder than they would otherwise.
     
     This is consistent with how senior management handles resource constraints. The CEO doesn't miss a paycheck...
