It will take 2-3 weeks for your body to get used to running in warm weather. As mentioned above, if you can run in early mornings or late evenings, it might be more tolerable then. If you are forced to run in the heat and humidity, just remember it makes it harder for your body to cool off and requires more effort for the same work. So as you found, you have to take it a bit slower for the same amount of effort.

Let me try to dig through my email to find the tips for running in the heat that the Boston athletic association sent prior to the marathon. It had some good pointers in it. If I can find it, I will copy and paste it in here.
