I just want to chime in and agree with googley--I personally hate hot weather, anything above 75, 80 at most and I feel yuck. I suspect my t must like the heat though, and would probably find it "gorgeous" because he has a higher floor un-airconditioned office and is always drinking cups of hot tea, even on a day when the heat index was near 100

I was dying and there he was sipping steaming tea, lol. Anyway so yes, your t probably was being sincere, but was just thinking of what (s)he finds comfortable.
