Humidity/AC unit

First summer in Texas, moved from AZ so experiencing the humidity hell for the first time. My AC unit (brand new in March) is keeping the house at around 85 during the day, it MAYBE gets to 80 overnight, even though it's set for 78. I thought maybe Beryl was the factor but I am useless with anything helpful house-wise. Can hurricanes drastically affect systems like this, or is this just part of living in humidity. Either way, I'm having a tech out Thursday, I just wanted to know if I should just expect it to be nice and toasty inside moving forward 😅
