Yes you are correct. What happens is that the blood capillaries get closer to the skin in warm climates. This improves the effects of evaporative cooling when you start to sweat. Of course in cold climates this is bad. The capillaries are deeper when you have lived in cold climates. This improves insulation

Either that or my evaporative cooling system is just incapable of dealing with 60% humidity and 95F. So no, I don't acclimate to warm climates. Must be my Scottish gene pool.
