People die of the heat here too. It's just something you deal with.
Really? Anyway, if it's something that kills people I think the "Wimps" comment is inappropriate.
It's a big shock to the system if you suddenly start getting deaths for new reasons. We're used to people dying in the cold weather but this is new.

100 degrees and humid is damn hot..I grew up in a place were the lowest it gets at night is 70 degrees, and were high year round go from low 80's to mid, upper 90's, with high hummidity for most of the year: and yes, 100 degrees and humid is hot, no matter how much some people may claim it is not. I dare the "That's not hot!" crowd to tell us whether they spend such days outside or far away from AC?

The top few lines show my local neighborhood temp, which is always hotter than the official temperature at the airport. Yesterday my local neighborhood temp was 114 F (45.5 Celcius)
These few lines show the current temperature at 11:00 AM, not the high temp. It will get much, much hotter.

It's only 87 degrees out. Anything below 90 degrees is downright pleasant in my book. In the summer of '92, there was a 2 month stretch where 50 days were above 90 degrees, and most were near 100. That's hot!
Admittedly, the humidity in DC is always a killer...
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
