I dunno, Don, but that sounds pretty inviting to me. A few days ago, they were complaining about the heat around here, saying that with the humidity (the Niagara Peninsula is pretty-much surrounded by water, so humidity is not uncommon) the temperature was the "equivalent" of 36ºCelsius, or 96ºFahrenheit.
I was dressed appropriately, though, with jeans, two pairs of socks, some safety boots, a teeshirt, and a fairly heavy long-sleeved shirt. The wife wanted me to drive her somewhere, and kept buggin' me to put on the air conditioning - heck, I had two windows partially opened.
When I was still working, standard garb in the summer was long underwear, jeans, a tee shirt, a long-sleeved shirt, and coveralls, plus the two pairs of socks, and the usual safety equipment - hardhat, safety boots, ear-protectors, and safety glasses, and gloves...always gloves.
In the winter, the wind would come in off the harbour, and I recall walking through a snowdrift on the operating floor, and opening a nearby soaking-pit cover to check the steel, which wasn't quite ready for rolling, as it was only 2250ºF.
I'll take hot over cold anytime.
