No, but I haven't done cold thermogenesis during a summer. According to this

"In my experience being cold adapted makes you more tolerant to heat of the summer. This has been the experience of the patients who have implemented this in my practice as well."

In my experience, people adapted to cold climates tend to be poorly adapted to warm ones, and vice versa.

My Russian fencing coach, for instance, would scoff at American winters, but when he came to the summer nationals in Austin Texas, he was by far the worst off, and kept complaining that he was going to die.
