Yes the heat and humidity does get tough sometimes. Ask WDH or Custom Sawyer... ;D
But I WOULD NOT want to be in the COLD weather you brothers have up North!

I just tried the Clorox mix with some left over borate solution and water on fresh cut SYP. it turns the wood yellow  in the heart. Is this normal!?

I do not know about SYP, but I used that solution on hard Maple and it did turn a bit brownish on the outside right after spraying.  Two years later, after it was dried and planed, it came out very bright and white.

Yes, this is normal. After a while the yellow will disappear and the wood will look natural.
