I haven't been up north for a long time but as I remember it was very hot and humid for about one month in CT. And most people, back then, didn't have air conditioning. Here it's hot and humid for about 3 months but we all have air conditioning. So, for me, it's just a matter of picking the right time of day to be outdoor-active. For example, I do yard work early in the morning and go for walks either in the evening or early morning. The rest of the time is spent in air conditioned rec centers, shopping centers etc.. In other words, you just learn to work around it and not give it much thought.
However, not everyone is so lucky. There may be those who are in poor health and they could be sensitive to both heat and cold. Most elderly people are dehydrated and that adds to the problem.
