I'd like to propose a discussion between a person from Arizona and a person from Alaska to define what is "Really hot outside"

Im from Texas, and 100F is "stay inside in the AC" weather. I bet an Arizonan would say the same.

Being from a particularly hot or cold location doesn't make you immune to heat or cold, it makes you a connoisseur of heat and cold. You get better at recognizing gradations of extreme temperature (knowing which are uncomfortable and which can literally kill you if you're not careful), you learn how to plan ahead and dress for the weather, and you develop emotional coping systems for extremes.

But if it's either 100°F or 0°F, no matter where you're from, that's a temperature to be wary of.
