If people can live in the desert then life isn’t impossible. Tear down the buildings built for the old climate and build new purpose built structures. Find new times of the day to get outside. It’s not impossible unless you insist on not changing.
The problem with humid heat is that it doesn’t give a fuck about shade. Europe in general is humid.
When it is humid, there’s barely a difference of temperature between shaded areas and unshaded ones.
When it is dry, all you gotta do is find some shade and temperature drops fast, to the point where you might even have to wear a jacket because it’s too cold. That doesn’t happen with high humidity.
Not to mention with high humidity your own bodies cooling is compromised. Fans don’t help as much either. At a certain temp/humidity, people just die unless they get to a climate controlled room.

A desert is dry. You can endure much higher temperatures in dry climates, but Europe is mostly humid.
shades rigged up between opposing buildings over a street should be a thing

Not even that is necessary. Insulation works both ways. But a redesign could be a solution.
