...summers are too hot for a climate with humidity! Although an escape from cold would be very nice, the humidity would probably be about as bad as it gets. A likely dew point of 85F and high temperature of 99F would be unforgiving and inherently dangerous; a heat index of 132F and wet-bulb temperature probably about 88F on the average July afternoon. Even at night, the heat index would be 108F (which isn't terrible in daytime for someone like me) and wet-bulb temperature 85F.
Also, winters are WAY too cold and long for someone like me who has his northern limit at places like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia.
Honestly, I don't really see a problem with that. I mean, heat indices are about as high around parts of the persian gulf and millions of people live there. I don't think it would be dangerous or inhospitable or anything like that. Just uncomfortable.

True, but it'd still be miserable, and they're pushing it. A wet-bulb above 95f is when it gets inescapably dangerous, but heat stress can happen a lot lower, so you'd have to be REALLY careful at a wet-bulb in the mid to upper 80s
