As a Florida Man™️, I believe the answer to be mostly related to humidity. This weekend we finally had a “cold front”, and our high temp was 89 instead of 92. Hardly any different right? But it felt about a million times better and everyone was outside because the air was drier. It felt great.

I can handle 90+ temps all day when the humidity is down. It’s the soupy air down here that makes summer suck so much.
