It's definitely hotter now in LA, than when I was a kid. It doesn't really stop me, personally, from doing stuff. Then again, how much yardwork and such am I really doing, anyway. But I know it stops my kids' generation.

I can't remember a single day (as a kid) when we didn't do stuff because of the heat. We didn't cancel PE, or hold it indoors. (Back when PE was 5 days per week.) PE was only held indoors if it was raining. We played sports outdoors year-round; I know because I grew up playing tennis. Now, tennis camp gets canceled for my kids if it's too hot (>100 deg). The little ones aren't allowed outdoors during recess if it's too hot. Maybe we have an abundance of caution these days. But I think it's also hotter now, than when I was a kid. My parents certainly comment that they run the AC more often now, than when they first moved into their house 35 years ago.

I don't think it's just the OP feeling his age.
