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.

Sounds like you could thrive out here. Except for a few thunderstorms, we are reasonably dry. I live in a desert.
