It's not so much the heat. Its the humidity. The high relative humidity makes it feel very uncomfortable for many people. Some people cope better than others.
Let me give you a quick example. 50 degrees @ 50% humidity feels relatively comfortable & you can work in such conditions quite easily provided your not exerting too much (& not in for too long), by contrast 35 degrees @ >98% humidity feels like hell but the actual moisture in air is pretty much the same (approx 40gms/cubic metre - for the sceptics). Its just because the closer you get to 100% humidity the less your perspiration works effectively to cool you & you stay wet & uncomfortable.
Some people prefer tropical humidity over dry desert heat.
I recommend you test your bodies response to high humidity.
