My first thought is "what the heck, kids can play sports when it's 90." But at the same time when you're getting unusually high temps, those can impact people differently if they aren't used to those temps than if they are.
I guess most places up there don't have central HVAC?
Sports practice would be fine here in Houston in the 90s, but up there or in London or Siberia temps in the 90s would be high enough to kill people.
I remember reading about a place in Siberia years ago where when the temps get up to 35ºF, people get outside in shorts and t-shirts because it seemed so warm to them. Clearly, temps in the 90s would seem extreme to them just like temps tens of degrees into the negative would seem extreme to folks in south Texas.
