I hate the heat too, I'd rather it was below freezing. That being said, I think so many of us at least in the US spend so much time in temperature controlled spaces that it makes it harder to deal with. There's kids in my neighborhood but you'd never know it unless the outside temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees. I'm gonna sound like the old fart here but I've never lived in a house with central air, never went to a school that was air conditioned and until recently never had a work van with working AC. Like a lot of modern conveniences they make us lose our ability to cope. People have been around a lot longer than these comforts. Rant over.
For two years, I worked outdoors in 90+ heat (freedom units) and humidity in the summer and freezing temperatures in the winter. I've found that my ability to still be comfortable in both heat and cold is tons better than my husband's. He works from home and enjoys the A/C pretty much 24/7.
