It's a problem anywhere, just that the dry bulb temperature needed to reach a given wet bulb temperature goes up as humidity goes down.

It's a problem anywhere that temperatures reach that high. Higher latitudes have colder climates. Hence, not a problem. If it becomes a problem, people move toward the poles. No longer a problem.

Earth would have to experience > +35 to +50C for the poles to be uninhabitable due to heat.
