I, like thousands of other Airmen, bunked in the MOB Dorms (WWII era wood firetraps) back in the 70's and mid-80's (San Antonio TX). No air conditioning. I was in basic the month of May. It was miserable, but that was the least of my concerns, I just wanted to graduate on schedule (mission accomplished: May 1981).
I could not fathom a July or August under those conditions; but again, thousands before and after me did just fine. Don't worry about the weather, you'll find out you probably won't have time to.
