What do you set your thermostat to? When we lived in Delaware we set it to 74 and it felt good. Moved to Florida and we leave it on 78 - and I don't notice a difference. The only thing I can think is that our air conditioner down here (newly purchased) also actively regulates our humidity and keeps it at 45%. I'm also one of those guys that can't stand heat, so it surprised me I was this tolerant of a higher temp on my AC.
