Can't handle the heat.
I can handle the cold though. At least you can put more layers if I'm cold.
If I'm too hot, I probably can't take my vest off in public. I have some control in the cold to handle it, if I'm too hot, I'm fucked.

I'm in Ottawa, Canada and for some reason it's going up to 43 celsius (that's about 109 for the fahrenheit users). I can take it but the problem is, I'm built for the cold so I'm miserable when it gets that hot.
I love the heat. I live in Charleston, SC. It's generally in the mid 90s during the summer, with stretches in the 100s (109 was the highest I remember). It's pretty humid as well. I don't mind it, as I just kind of stay outside enough to where I get used to it. I'm also kind of a beach bum, so the ocean breeze always feels really nice.
What sucked is two years ago in July when the air conditioning broke in the house I was renting with friends. Of course, the temperatures went over 100 just at that time. We went two weeks (the repair people came, but had to order a part) with no A/C, with the thermostat regularly reading in the mid 90s inside. I don't mind the heat outside, but it sucks when it's hot inside. It's just a dead air heat. I stayed at other friend's places as much as I could.

Heat is nothing, it's the humidity that gets me. In Arizona it will be 80 and I'll still have a sweater on. I love in Michigan where it's 90 degrees and 90% humidity. If it gets too hot I just go for a swim or take a nap and wake up when it's cooler.
it live is south Florida and it is around 90 for late spring and early fall and i have a half mile walk to and from my bus stop i can take the heat, what i cant take are the mosquitoes.
I prefer cool to cold, overcast weather. I loathe summer, when there are bugs everywhere and I can't breathe.
Try the UK, it has LITERALLY not rained where i live since at least early march, probably mid feb, discounting one light shower a few days ago.Vault boy Eddie said:
I have to sympathise with my avatar here, I can't bear even a moderately sunny day, and get heatstroke in the blink of an eye if I go abroad.
On the other hand, I usually go around in a T-shirt or bare chested when it snows/rains (I freaking *love* freezing rain), must be my Geordie blood.

Depends, is it dry heat? I used to live in Fort Worth, Texas, and I'll tell you that those 100+ days were pretty okay.
Is it humid heat? Well, I live in South Carolina now and it is as humid as a coastal state on the eastern seaboard of the United States. I can handle it, but not overly well. 80-90s are pretty bad, but thankfully, I've yet to see it over 100 degrees while I'm still outside.

Let's see, I wear a t-shirt under my flannel shirt, blue jeans and boots. And you can see me walking with not much trouble on a typical 37°C day.
I don't have a car, so I take the bus, which it's always full and hot. Remember the 37°C? add some more for being in a closed space with no a/c and being squashed by people.
If I don't have change, then I walk to my destination, again on a hot sunny day, sometimes it's two steps away from home, some other times it's like 1-2 kilometers away, wearing the same old outfit.
So yeah, I can pretty much take the heat, and the humidity here is pretty high too, so sometimes it can be like 45°C out of nowhere.
