I grew up in northern US, then used to live in Saudi Arabia / UAE and now I live in Houston. Honestly Houston just feels "warm" to me now, even on the hottest days. The "Khaleeji" GCC area of the Persian gulf is just so, so, so much worse. Even New Orleans felt just a touch worse to me than Houston, but neither compare to Qatar/UAE/the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
I often jog or bicycle 3 miles to work in Houston during the summer and enjoy plenty of daytime outdoor activities in my late 30's.
