Baby room temperature during summer in HKG

[BLC]

My little girl was born last April. So she was still very young during last summer. Her room gets very hot so I would put the aircon on to cool down the room before she went to bed. Then turn it off and put on the fan. She would sleep in her short sleeve body with no legs/feet, most of the time she wouldn't have a blanket on either. The room would seem really hot but cooler where she was laying because of the fan. The reason I didn't use the aircon is because I didn't want her to get used to it and therefore always be uncomfortable in hot humid weather. She is now a year old and we have another summer, so I shall see if it works for her again.

Aaah! this is all really scarey - We move to HK from the UK in June and my baby is an English baby with his 1.0 tog sleeping bag in 18-22C room - He wears a short sleeved bodysuit and sleepsuit with feet.
How can I get him used to the HOng Kong weather, both indoor and outdoor??

i am now having my daughter wear 0.5 tog with long body suit (without feet). Room temp 19-20. She seems much better.

I have my 5 month old in a 0.5 tog bag with only a nappy on and no aircon on. The therometer says it's between 24 and 27 degrees in her room, which I realise is quite hot, but her body seems only warm and she doesn't sweat wearing this little. Am I taking a risk here? The grobag thermometer says it's ok... just.

Our aircon doesn't have a temperature gauge on it so we can't regulate the cool air properly and it blows really hard onto her cot.

We're moving back to the UK at the end of this month... do you think I can get by like this or should I resort to aircon?
