Trust me, there are many types of heat besides absolute temp.
I've left 110 California returning to Atlanta, Georgia and all people did is complain of 90s Atlanta and how unbearable it is.
Colorado is also Hot but dry. It will wipe you out by dehydaration and you not know it.
Yet, down here. 95 will make you pour sweet in minutes, doing NOTHING.
(all temp F, I'm not sure of C conversion)
In my retail job, I must wear pants (usually jeans). I am AMAZED at how much hotter jeans are than a thick wool kilt, especially when I change from one to another. The jeans feel like a denim sauna!!
Today (off)-> I stayed INSIDE as much as possible, yet STILL sweated buckets getting few things done outdoors and playing with my kids.
I would not advise an 8 yard 16oz for summer daywear down here.
4 yard box pleats, however, are as good as shorts and look more impressive.

Tomorrow we're going to a BBQ at my sons house. I'm gonna wear my USAK semi trad so I don't overheat.They say the heat index will be about 110 F.

107 here, before the index...and it was miserable!
I really feel for anyone wearing long pants or jeans in these conditions..
