Ah, but one would adjust to moderate discomfort from humidity, which leaves potentially four months of the year more humid than one would like. I'd rather shelter from the heat and sun for four months a year than from the wind and cold.
I have friends in Brisbane who say they swapped five months of scurrying from centrally heated building to centrally heated building to 2 months of being more comfortable with the air con on and avoiding the sunshine. Total no-brainer for me
