And it's not the heat itself, not the individual days at least. There's nothing truly unbearable about a summer day. It's not like Arizona hot. Nobody dies from it at least. The humidity is ceratianly a factor. Nothing like getting dressed up for a night out and being drenched in sweat within 15 minutes. You learn to deal with it though.
The unbearableness of it is just the length of the season. Much like a Chicago winter I'd imagine. It's not so bad at first but by the time August rolls around, you're pretty much ready for Winter to come back.
