Megabot, although I normally work in an office, I do quite a bit of archaeology. I once spent a month working in temperatures in excess of 40 degrees (I think the top temperature we had was 45 - that's nearly 115 F). The site had no shade whatsoever, it sounds horrendous, but it was a very dry heat, which I don't find at all exhausting - and I actually got a tan.

I really do like hot weather, and like working outside in it, provided the work is of interest. (Archaeology, not asphalt!!)
