It’s not the heat it’s the humidity. Drier air feels colder.

Bingo! What most do not realize is that it is called Air Conditioning for a reason. It is not simply Air Cooling. The major lifting is with the reduction of moisture in the the air - the cooling is a side benefit.

I had to buy a combo thermometer and hygrometer to SHOW my female staff members that it wasn't "cold" it was just dry(er).

They were amazed that the temp remained 75 but with a humidity at 50% it was soooo cooooold.

In Florida you MUST keep indoor humidity below 70% or you will have spore germination and mold. Most businesses run AC units all night long to avoid that.

Same thing in the winter here. Our building always feels cold. Even if the temp is 74. Cause it's so dry.
