Just shut up about the heat already

Summer appears to be almost here, with temperatures starting to get into the 30's (high 80's/low 90's Fahrenheit) most days.  What is surprising me is how many people are already complaining about how hot it is.  Most of these people are Taiwanese people who have been living here their whole lives.  Haven't they lived through 20 or 40 or 60 Taiwan summers already?  Shouldn't they be used to, or at least resigned to, ridiculously hot and humid weather by now?  And don't they know that the weather is going to get five degrees hotter by the end of June?  If they're complaining now, what are they going to do then, scream in pain?
