We paid the Indians to do it for us whilst we sat in the shade and drank tea.

You're a better man than Tyr is, Gunga Din

That is very hot even in bulk numbers let alone considering, from what I've heard, this is a very hot feeling 30 degrees.

I guess by that what you mean is that it's got a humid climate?  Well in that case, you should probably avoid visiting the southeastern quadrant of the US during the summer (and in that I would include New York and points south) as it gets that hot or hotter with high humidity.

Ok, bad example , but at least some of your ancestors weren't weaklings as they settled the American South with its 'very hot' climate.

I don't think it is far to place Jos as the typical Brit.

True, but I wonder if other British Languishites think that climate is intolerably hot?  In my mind, cities don't get intolerably hot until they approach say Riyadh's average summer daily high temperatures (42-44 C or 108-110 F).

What's your definition of "intolerably hot"?

What's your definition of "intolerably hot"?

Can't really give a straight answer, so many factors at play.
I found Corfu's weather to be quite horrid when I was there many years ago though.
The Balaerics were very uncomfortable,

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun.

There seems to have been a different breed of Englishmen in the past.

You aren't their type when they go a rapin'.

Maybe Mongolia is more your thing then
Average summer high is 23, and it's not humid at all.

Your mind may tolerate them, but I doubt your body will tolerate temperatures over 100F for lengthy period of time.

I'm not saying I love 100+ weather (especially if it's humid), but I can tolerate it and wouldn't rule out living in/visiting a place for that reason.

I would.  That is what I get four months a year if I am going someplace I need a break.

Especially this year.  Horrible summer so far and it is not even technically summer.

Glasgow can get intolerably hot in August, sometimes.

[Caliga]

 

The warmest month is usually July, with average highs near 20 °C (68 °F). Autumns are cool to mild, with increasing dampness.  Extremes range from -20 to 31.2 °C (-4 to 88 °F), the latter occurring 4 August 1975.

Sounds like Tyr should move to Yukon. BB would be proud.

I wonder if in fact all of them left for the various former British colonies.
