I grew up without A/C, just oscillating fans and window fans later on. When we moved here last summer, it was in the 90's and we are on the 5th floor of a 12 floor building -- it got hot. we turned on the a/c. Turning it off even for a couple hours made the apartment hot again. No circulation, because we only have one big window in the living room, and one window in the bedroom, no cross breeze.

Can't wait til we move to the new apartment (same town) in July -- where it wil be much more home-like, and we will be on the ground level, and have a yard, and windows on all sides of the apartment! we don't plan on using the a/c there much if we can get a cross-breeze.
