It's all about acclimation, isn't it?
For the UK= 80 is pretty warm. but Only 6 years ago- I did not get a car with air conditioning because the extra cost would not be worth it for 3 or 4 days a year. We now have a couple of months where it would be worthwhile. Summers are still warm- But plenty of rain and winters are warmer with less rain. Now when I went to France- Temps were up in the 90's most of the time. Took one day to adjust liquid intake (And type of liquid) and I was fine.
