Maybe. It’s only a week. There are all sorts of strategies for coping, many of which Ralf has outlined, and most of the world copes without AC. We lived in hot and humid countries for years without AC. If it’s your normal climate you, er, acclimatise... It’s not our normal climate here and right-thinking people should be horrified at the idea of using AC in this country. If that seems like the solution then something is going very wrong indeed and rather than adding to the problem we need to be looking at other ways to cope with it until we have reversed the problem. That means adapting our homes and the way we live by taking lessons from the people whose normal climate this is and who have developed techniques over millennia for dealing with it. But in the short term yes, maybe you just have to put up with it for a week.
