I've worked outside in -50 with a 30km/h wind, more than once. It's not fun, but I would take that in a heartbeat to +40. I can dress for -50; at +40 there's only so many clothes I can take off before I get arrested.

And I've worked in sweltering heat with high humidity and it's a lot easier for a layman to survive the heat than the cold. You need gear and burning resouces to survive the cold. All you need with the heat is some shade and maybe a dip in the river/lake/pool. Like I said in my other comment, there's a reason homeless flock to warm climates. It's easier to survive.
