It's not that they're extreme or scary. It's that it's shitty to tolerate them and we can so readily afford better to the point where you will be looked at like a weirdo if you want to show up at work drenched in sweat because it was 88degrees freedom when you walked to work in the morning.

You'll likely break a sweat at 31 degrees C (had to look it up), but if you're drenched in sweat you should consider exercising more. But sure, it's not for everyone. It's great to have practical transportation choices though. Most of North America has none, it's car or stay home.

If you're not sweating when it's 85F-125F and 60%+ humidity, you should probably drink water.

125F and 60%+ humidity? Are we talking Indian heat wave of the century type of situation now or what?

Not on the same place, but 90-100F and very high humidity is common from Kentucky to Florida.

> we can so readily afford better

Can we really? All the reporting on climate change definitely has me thinking otherwise. There are options more respectful to our planet than digging tunnels like for example planting trees to help mediate temperatures.
