What are Beverly and Dan doing to cope with the heat? They could just share their methods with their partners. There is no need for deception or intrigue here.
Some people just do heat better than others. There’s no secret or technique to it, outside of spending weeks or months in a given climate acclimating to it.
You have a point; if this is the family ‘vacation home’, they’re more used to being in this climate like for a few weeks every other year or so.
(Also, a lower body fat % makes thermal transfer easier; my swimmer friends always have far more trouble with cold weather than hot.)

i live in south of france, i can go to 35/37°C easy before it become “hot” ^^ but you’ll never get me under 10° :’)
Probably they’re just more tolerant of it. It could also be sheer willpower. Some people can ignore discomfort more easily than others. For example, I have a super high pain tolerance, which to someone looking from the outside would like some special technique, but is really just be ignoring the pain.
Anyways, the best thing I’d recommend for these circumstances is a day trip out on a boat – sailing, fishing, diving, water skiing, whatever. You get more wind when you get away from land, so a sea breeze might help…even if people might risk getting windburned.
I can’t get over the fact that he’s putting a belt over shorts.
I’m sure it’s fashionable or whatever. But what on earth is he holding up there, that needs a belt?!
I get this from people all the time. It was 34°F for the high today so I wore sweatpants and a T-shirt, with people looking at me like I just stepped off the 1630 express saucer from Mars. I get the same looks in about 6 and a half months with slightly less clothes in one of the other J months. What can I say? Except that growing up we moved from Canada to Florida and eventually the Sahara. I’m acclimated to just about anything climate wise. And I have been getting strange looks for decades.

Tara and I would be reacting to the heat in the exact same way.

Then there people like me who can’t acclimate. I’ve lived in the same place for almost my whole life and I still hate the summers here.
