I live in a pretty hot climate, but it’s only really unbearable at times due to shoddy building and bad urban planning. Even then, summer can be difficult.
I can’t imagine what it’s like on the equator, especially in dense urban centres. What’s Mumbai, Bangkok, or Singapore like at the height of the wet season?! How do millions of people function day to day?
It’s not that much cooler at night. I’m still sweating the entire time. Like through a three layers and a wool suit sweating
Mate, don’t wear three layers and a wool suit in those conditions!
That would require me to buy more than one suit.
Also, I break a sweat folding laundry in my underwear in a 70F room. Not sweating is not an option for me.
Aclimatization is real. When you spend everyday at 35°, for 3 months, living your life. And then one day it’s 28°, you’re going to feel chilly. And that’s when you know you’ve adapted
I think if I spent a day at 35C I’d die.
You wouldn’t die, you would just have to remove those four layers of clothing you’re wearing
I can’t stand that heat even with zero layers of clothing.
Maybe they’ll throw me in a nice, air conditioned jail.
The jails are not air conditioned.
Guess I’ll just die then
The temperature may not be as cool, but you don’t have the sun beating down on you. So the effect of experience is much more enjoyable
It’s a massive difference… night and day
I’m about to move further from the equator partially for this reason.
If you can, swim 2-3 times per day, or at least a quick cold shower.
At night it is at least a little more pleasant to be outdoors due to the sun not beating down and you’ll feel better for getting out and doing something.
Also seek out indoor spaces with aircon or green spaces with shade that are much more pleasant, if you can.
If you have to do manual work outdoors then god help you.
But you do get a little more used to it over time, but very high temps are always unpleasant.
