Plenty of people would. That's mid 80's and is pretty damn hot to me!

You can easily get heat exhaustion at 30 C, hell you can even get it at 25 C. Obviously you're used to 30 C weather for 6+ months of the year so of course you wouldn't.



That being said, I would take a walk at 30 F. Would be quite chilly at first, but you warm up to a comfortable temperature after walking a while. I've done plenty of 5+ mile walks at 30 C and while not dangerous, definitely uncomfortable after a while.

I've gone running at 25 F before and even felt hot afterwards. But we're discussing walking.
