Don't you work in a foundry? It has to be like a gazillion degrees or you're probably cold!

My range is pretty narrow and on the cooler side. I'd say between 50 and 60 around town, the windows are down in my pickup. If the humidity is up, so are the windows. Anything above 75 is hot to me.
Our minivan suffers from "inside thunder" as the kids call it. Bernoulli effect is what Tom and Ray from Cartalk called it. So the windows are almost always up.

Tool'n around town - windows down is OK. But that all depends on the average speeds and even the wind speed.
My car and our van tend to get painfully loud inside, due to buffeting, above 40mph or so, if just the fronts are down.
Even state highway speeds end up just being too loud with the windows down. Interstate speeds are right out.
Besides, it's more fuel efficient to have the A/C on and windows up if you're over 45mph or so anyhow.
In reality for me, though, it's all about the noise. I'd rather it be quiet.

'73 bug with the wings...
I rarely use the A/C on my truck. But my wife's Pilot has terrible aerodynamics with the windows down.

Steel mill. In a Continuous Caster.
In the summer, the casting floor is regularly 130 degrees in the summer. With this weater, it's only about 100.
Couple days ago, I had to tighten some bolts on a sensor on the ladle of steel that we were casting on.
Outside of the ladle is 800 degrees.
I cake away with red on the right side of my face, and my ear hurt for a couple hours.
On the top of a crane, I've seen 174 degrees.
I have been taken out on a stretcher once for heat.
(3 times overall)
I was working on a temperature sensor for the incoming liquid steel, spent a little too long on it.
The elevator was out, so I started up the stairs 100 feet to get to my shop for my tools, then back almost to the ground for the sensor.
Muscles cramped up. Felt funny. Spoke gibberish.
Risks of the trade.
90% of summertime driving, windows down. I wear scrubs at work and our office absurdly cold.
Only co workers who get hot are overweight.
I love driving home from work feeling warm for the first time since I got up in the morning.
I keep it off at home unless the humidity gets crazy.

Unless it's pouring down rain or I'm driving with the entire family in the vehicle my windows are down... especially spring, summer, and fall... ...and I'd say probably 50% of the winter.

Noticed this myself today. Too many cars with the windows up. Folks shut themselves off from the world.
Wife and I had the windows down and the top open in the Jeep this evening. Too nice NOT to.
Before I sold my TJ, the doors came off sometime in May, and the windows out, and it stayed that way all summer. Looking forward to my NEXT Jeep, so I can do that again.

Some of us still have hair that blows in the eyes. Hard to stay in one's lane at 70mph with hair interfering with one's vision. The wind also plays havoc on the contact lenses. Of course, when I am wearing my cowboy hat, my prescription sunglasses, and heading for the range, I "roll the windows down, turn the radio up and let the wind blow through my hair." 
Window down, full blast AC lol.
If you can remove the pressure differential it should stop. To open the sunroof in either of our vehicles you need to crack the windows to stop the effect. Some combination of front/rear should help your situation.
I open windows or go topless as long as I'm not sweating buckets or taking a double digit mile trip on a highway. AC reserved for 85+ and high humidity.
