Honestly, I just love the heat. I strip down to as few layers as possible, put a fan on, and that's pretty much it. Even when it gets really hot, I still find that easier than the cold. The question I really want to know is how do people deal with the cold!
The good old you can always add more layers. The coldest temperature I ever experienced in my region was -26ยฐC, the hottest just over 40. Between the two, I much prefer the former.
But then again, it just boils down to what you're used to. Our winters have always been on the harsher side, and I'm not even far up north.
Every new heatwave has me holding on for dear life. Judging by recent years, my body will have to adapt sooner than later, otherwise I'm going to have a really bad time going forward.
Yeah unfortunately as cultures get air conditioners, they can take more heat as a society, but individually most people don't ever truly be hot adapted. Then you get a place where people run from their ACd job to their ACd carto their ACd grocery store and finally get to heir ACd house.
