In contrast it's been sunny and most times the sun hits over 35 degrees, and I can't even go out much with some severe sun exposure.
I hope some day, I can get my hands on some real gold, I think it'll only continue to go up as you've said
There probably is a lot of gold to be found there, a decent metal detector and the right location. But it would have to be done in much cooler weather. In Arizona I would only go out in winter months looking for nuggets because it was just too hot in summer. The best thing about gold is you can literally find in just laying on the ground if you know where to look.
