I have worked in both the extreme cold ( Alert, and Repulse Bay tundra just accross the arctic circle) and the extreme heat (Cypress, Kandahar Airfield). It is almost hard to say which is better. I guess it comes down to the threat on the physical well being. At moderate negative temperatures you can simply dress warmer. At the 40+ above mark you can ensure adequate hydration.
End of the day, I guess I would take the heat over the cold. But quite frankly, I would prefer a climate where it just stayed at 21°C every day, and maybe 18 at night. Also, if it oculd rain only at night, that would be fine also.
Made it up to -3 outside right now. I am out in just a hoodie with no gloves and running shoes on. A nice break form the recent cold spell.
