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.
Can YOU handle the heat?

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.

I live in Edmonton. Heat is not an issue.
5 degrees Celsius (38 or so Fahrenheit) is shorts-and-t-shirt weather around these parts.
