I heard the same from a Scot who visited Texas and decided to go for a 45 minute stroll to his destination. In summer. He regretted it 15mins in and luckily a local stopped and gave him a ride, saying that he could die in this heat (not sure if that was a joke)

Probably not a joke. Heatstroke is very real. Many underestimate hot weather and don't drink nearly enough water.

For a Scot it would be a bit of an extreme change. For a Spaniard it wouldn't.

It's important to pace and hydrate oneself and people from hot climates know that because they deal with it all the time.
