Also I think the body acclimatises to a degree over the course of the
summer, so that one can cope a little better in August than in June.
Against that, I think the nights tend to be hotter in August heatwaves
than they are in June, and hot sticky nights when it's hard to sleep are
perhaps the most unpleasant feature of heatwaves.

Yes the human body can tolerate high daytime temperatues as long as it
gets a chance to cool down at night.

To be honest despite the sweatiness and the hayfever I much prefer the
current conditions compared to the last two weeks in May.
