Your highs are lower than our lows.

You're welcome, you do need to like humidity, though. When it's warm it's usually humid and sticky.
I don't do heat very well, never have. My mother was able to sunbathe for hours on end when my grandparents had a holiday home (they stayed in the smaller boat house and we always stayed all summer in the big house). I never lasted more than five minutes before retreating indoors with a book or getting on my bike and cycle around the lakes.
Three years ago I got eczema (which get worse when it's warm or when I'm stressed) and sun allergy. At the time I was dog sitting and I never spend long in the sun. But part of my skin got a bit swollen, red, flaky and itchy. So even for dog walks or cycling home/the store and back I now use sunscreen.
However, last year when we went to Krakow we had several days of what I would call hot weather (25C+) in the Netherlands and one day over 30C. But it was a different kind of heat. Only on the 30C+ day did I really get hot and when you sat in the shade for 5 or 10 minutes and had a drink or, even better, and ice cream you would feel better immediately. That has never worked for me like that in the Netherlands.
