After moving from California to Portland, a PNW summer is much more enjoyable because of the trees. Ambient temps could be around 90°F and walking outside is still pleasant because the streets are covered with huge trees.

I live in Georgia and the summer is not a bother at all in my neighborhood because it's so forested. I can take a causal walk outside up until about 90F. Florida was hell even at the same temperatures because palm trees just aren't the same as oaks or pines.

Humidity may have played a part.

Georgia is not a dry place…unless op mean Georgia in the Middle East.
Tiny correction: I think Georgia, the country, is not considered as part of the Middle East. If anything, it’s more in Europe than the middle east.
geographically it's in Asia,come on people
apologies, it's on both continents (but like 95% Asia)
Really depends on the part of the city you’re in. Take the green line out to Lents and walk back to the city center and you will develop an even greater appreciation for the difference trees make.
