I find that true to an extent. The better shape I am in the better I handle it. Also you can acclimate to the heat. I have been on a couple tours where there was 100+ F for days or weeks on end. The thing is that yes you can acclimate to it, but it still sucks if you ask me. If I get there and it is 115 F I'll still ride, but if I
expect it to be 100+ I'll probably plan to go either a different place or the same one at a cooler time.
