I would rather have it the other way. I am more comfortable in the colder weather than the hot, even though I was born in Africa on the edge of the Kalahari desert. I spent almost all my youth in North and Southern Rhodesia, where it often got up to 112f in the shade. You can always get warm when it's cold, but it's not so easy to get cool when it's hot. Spent as much time as I could in the swimming pool, but even the pool would get warn on cloudless days.
We never had long weld railway lines as the heat would buckle the track.
