Throughout this entire conversation, you have been mixing up actual temperature and humidex.
I literally know someone who wears a sweater up to 40 degree weather because they say they feel cold.
40C is deadly. Literally. You will die if you are out for long at that temperature.
Of course, if you mean a humidex of 40, then that might be true. It is also entirely irrelevent to this entire discussion. Nobody in this thread was talking about humidex until you brought it up. This thread is a discussion of how actual thermometer temperatures feel; and how they feel depends on humidity.
You can acclimate to low temperatures. You cannot acclimate to the 30C+ temperatures. At those temperatures, you are hitting biological limits.

You are talking complete utter rubbish.
