But twice in my life high humidity has almost struck me down. So I am very careful to monitor my HR and fluid and electrolyte intake. Still this is a consideration.

However when I lived in the northern part of our country the cold has almost paralyzed me. Exercising in Montana in the deep winter even after a few weeks with my sister was just not going to happen outside. I had the clothing, I looked like an Eskimo, and after just a few minutes glove-less hands were out of the question. At least for me, and I have lived when it gets cold for many years, cold is the worst. Having had my power knocked out I simply don't accept people can adapt to not using a heater or fireplace. Having also lived in the desert I don't see why someone would live without air conditioning if it is available.
