I walked yesterday on the East coast of England, strong onshore wind, around -10 with windchill. Brrr! Though I prefer it cold to hot, you can always put on more clothes ( or find a warm pub! ).

I walked 100m back and forth to the market and was soaked with sweat when I returned home. 36º, real feel 42º. I'm definitely not moving to the U.K.!
