It's the hottest day in the UK ever today.
38C so I've not
So when is it too hot to train?
Am I just a wimp?

when it's to hot to give your best, if your half ****ing it there's no point.
it's only 32 in Manchester but with60 % humidity its horrible, I walked to the precinct to do my shopping, then walked home with three heavy bags and carrying a dog that decided it was to hot to walk, he is only 20 lbs but when you've done that with one bicept for a mile you know about it, that's my work out for the day
Have to be careful training in excessive heat. Can't really put a number to it, too many factors involved.
My advice if you DO train in excessive heat, stay heavily hydrated, make your pace much slower than usual, take way more breaks, and watch out for your fellow trainees.

Stay hydrated, stay hydrated, stay hydrated.
We are regularly 98-100 degrees with 90-95 percent humidity.
If working out at 100 percent workout for a shorter time and take more breaks to cool off.

Its too hot when its too hot, simply put.
Obviously dont be doing **** outside in 30 degree temperature at noon or during the hottest part of the day and wear sun lotion etc if you go outside and hydrate.
Dont listen to anyone with the mentality you have to exercise no matter the weather, people traditionally try to avoid doing things in exteeme heat and cold hell they usually wait until the warmer part of the day for cold and cooler for hot. etc, just dont take the no pain mentality to it.
(i know somone may give you that mentatily some time, just know its traditional for people not to do manual labour that much in heat or cold)

Train in the early morning, when it is coolest. Or at least wait into the sun goes down and it begins to cool off, and at least you are not in the direct sunlight, if like me, you train outside.m

It’s all about acclimation.
“冬练三九，夏练三伏”，这是前人在长期锻炼过程中总结出来的经验，有一定的科学道理。例如，在严寒天气下锻炼，能增加肌体对寒邪的抵抗力，可预防冬季常见病的发生；而在酷热天气下锻炼，能提高人的耐热能力，使得肌体能更好地适应炎热的自然气候，从而达到防病健体的目的。
The best time to train MA is during the coldest winter time and the hottest summer time.
Exercise in
- cold weather can increase the body's resistance to cold, and prevent common diseases in winter.
- hot weather can improve people's heat resistance and make the body better adapt to the hot.

"Too hot" depends on a lot of factors. Others have mentioned acclimation (what you're used to), and that's a big deal. When I used to spend time every summer in Florida, 90-100F wasn't unusual, and I'd still go out for a run, sometimes in the hottest part of the day. Today I can't do that, because I don't train in heat often enough (30C isn't much hot to me unless humidity is high).
Your conditioning also matters. Someone who trains harder than me is likely to be better equipped to survive heat I wouldn't do well in.
Listen to your body, hydrate well, and know the signs of heat exhaustion/heat stroke. Make sure your training partners know them, too, because you may not spot them in yourself.

True MA training - train outdoor under normal temperature, drink warm water after training.
Rich family kids MA training - train indoor under AC, drink icy cold soft drink after training.

What makes it "true"?
To test your body to the maximum extreme is the true meaning for all MA training.
I had trained in the summer 6 hours outdoor daily (even under heavy raining), 6 days per week for 3 months. After that 3 months of training, I thought I could do anything if I want to. It was the best life time experience that I ever had.
For the rest of my life, heat has never bothered me.
I had to walk 12 miles to school every day. In 4 feet of snow. Up hill. Both ways. Barefoot.
I've trained in un-cooled spaces, and in air conditioning. I can train a lot harder in air conditioning, and probably get more fortitude from training in the heat. I'm not sure I can say one of those is better than the other.
That was excellent training when we were young. Today people just talk about AC and cold drink. One day when I put a soft handler on my weight pulley, my teacher said I was a rich family kid who tried to train MA. I took down that soft handler from my weight pulley after that day.
If you can twist a piece of dead wood, you will develop strong grip. If you can hand on a tree, you can develop strong head lock. IMO, comfort and MA training don't go together.
