So continous 35 is certainly not just about outdoor activity, it's actually trying to live and sleep at home that becomes excruciating. That's very high on the list of 5 degrees vs 35 degrees pros and cons for an extended period.
Add not sleeping well and boiling during the day inside to not golfing, running or doing much of anything and yeah I'll take 5 degrees over 35 for sure.

These conversations are always silly. People live all around the world with at daily temperatures of 30C with no issue as the body adapts. We only see it in Calgary for a matter of days in a year so it's uncomfortable for some because their bodies have not adapted to these temperatures or are slow to adapt. If the norm in Calgary was for daytime highs of 30C our bodies would adapt and we would go about our daily lives just fine and the majority of us would have AC accordingly like the rest of the industrialized world that lives in areas where temperatures are regularly north of 25C. The human body cannot adapt to -30 period. Not debatable. You can dress up but your body will never, ever adapt as you will die being overexposed to these cold temperatures. It's als extremely hard on vehicles, houses, roads, animals, pretty well everything including the environment because of all the natural gas used to heat houses to keep them at room temperature. There's a very good reason the majority of the world's population is concentrated near the equator.
If your body takes overly long to adapt to 30C then it's your problem only as the rest of the world much prefers it to cold weather. Any talk of this current weather being better than hot summer is purely silly talk.
