Full time here since 2003, moved here from South Florida, ironically, to get away from terrible traffic. LOL
Before Florida, spent a number of years in Memphis. No amount of being in the heat has helped my heat tolerance, had a few close calls with heat stroke, so even more susceptible now. I don't last 5 minutes outside. Early morning humidity is just as brutal as the rest of the day. Thank goodness for a/c.
3 years ago, we finally got a house with a pool. We have 10 ceiling fans (including bathroom!) and have thermostat set at 73 which keeps master bedroom at 74 but other end of house is 80 (which sucks.)
I go outside only in winter and wear shorts/tank tops YEAR ROUND. I think we had the heat on once in the past 3 years. Where everyone else brings sweaters and jackets to restaurants, I am comfortable. You can always add layers if chilly. It's still better than worrying about pipes freezing, driving on snow/ice, etc. LOL
