Narrative:
Upon boarding at xa:19 it was found the aircraft had hot air flowing and unbearable for customers and crews to be onboard. Cleaners were off the airplane. Pilots arrived shortly after and [I] told them the airplane was too hot. Due to the temperature and horrible condition aircraft X provided the airplane was never appropriately cooled until we had both engines on and it was nearly unbearable to the crew and passengers being forced to wear a face covering during extreme heat conditions.also showed the spraying took place at xa:24 and that time was not accurate as the cleaners were not onboard the plane when we arrived. I cannot confirm it was actually accomplished by the time frame.
