Funnily enough, my brain went there, too - only to derive opposite lesson. When I was a teenager I spent a summer in central America, living in mostly un-air conditioned spaces. The first few weeks were hellish, but I became gradually used to it. Then I came home, and remember 80° F, with no humidity, feeling distinctly chilly!

I think the lesson there is that subjective / comparative judgments are, well, always and irremediably subjective. It's never possible to impose an alternative frame of reference and get to a "true" answer. That's frustrating for those of us who prefer to live in the objective realm - but it's maybe comforting to recognize that these matters are objectively subjective!
