how similar things are different

vague, i know. but consider this. in frankfurt, they just released a Class I heat warning ( that's really really bad; lots of folks died when they experienced one of these a couple of summers ago). that means the temperatures will reach 90 to 95 degrees f. it was 98 degrees in sacramento today when the wife and i went up to visit a couple of our kids living there. and there must have been 20 or more folks sitting outside of the coffee shop we stopped at after lunch, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, and smoking cigarettes. 98 deg. ho-hum for a place that typically has more than 15 days a year over 105 degrees. people don't even turn on their air conditioners (which you need) until the temps get over 95.
guess it's all in what you are used to.
