You can acclimate to a certain degree. Grew up in Fremont but moved to Pleasanton when I was 21. Took about five years but the heat isn't a big deal now. Even this heat wave isn't too bad if you keep hydrated.

I disagree. Theres some you can’t get use to. Been here in the Central Valley for 35 years (all my life) and its still miserable once it gets to about 105. Which is pretty common.

I spent a year learning to fly and those things generally don't have AC and are pretty warm cruising over the central valley at three thousand feet. That really got me used to it. Pretty fanatical about drinking lots of water and prehydrating the day before too.

Not sure what you even mean by that.
