I've lived in the south. I'll take the 100+F days with high humidity. You know why? Because the heat doesn't hurt. It will make you uncomfortable as fuck because of sweat and lethargy, you might get a sunburn, which hurts later, and it can kill you over time, but it doesn't hurt. Cold fucking hurts like a bitch. In the summer, I can finish mucking the horse stalls and herding the cows, then head inside and take a shower. Instantly all the uncomfortable heat and its byproduct of sweat/grime is gone. The AC and a little air movement make the heat dissipate in moments. In the winter, I have to head inside and sit by the fireplace or in the shower/bath until the warmth actually makes it down to my bones, because they are aching from the cold, and that can take bloody hours.
Spring is obviously still the best season, but summer is far from the worst.
