Air conditioning is for rich people and it is actually very bad for the environment. Even though it is hot if everyone turns on their AC units at the same time there may be a power outage in the neighborhood. The streets will be very hot and dangerous too. In Hong Kong this is a major problem. People love their AC units while eating hotpot in the summertime. Perhaps you can make more salads and lighter food in the summertime to avoid all of the cooking and preparation necessary.
