Super anecdotally, I've been biking to work through the desert for years. 100F and up. You eventually get used to it. Bring a shit ton of water.
OK, yes drink lots of water, but... that does nothing for not wanting to arrive at work (or anywhere else) sweaty.
Even that decreases; I don't break a sweat anymore. But it helps that I have work shirts and can bike slow.
"Decreases" is not good enough for any job where you have to be around and interact with other people (e.g. retail, food service, healthcare, education, any kind of office work, etc...).
It's good enough if it decreases to the point where you no longer break a sweat!
