Northern Yankees getting ready for some summer heat be like southerners losing it over 3 inches of snow. I was raised in the 50's in NYC, Queens, (like our President). It was in the 90's for weeks, and nothing was air conditioned. We ran through the sprinkler, went to the big public pools, I rode my bike, no gatorade, it was kool aid or ice water. The dog got shaved. I don't remember people dying.The body acclimates, maybe it's the constant a/c that makes people not tolerate the outdoor temps? I know when I moved here I would wear a jacket when it was 50 degrees, now it's a tshirt. Buses and subways were not airconditioned, supermarkets kept the doors open, cars were not either, the body gets used to it and weather was tolerated.
