Sensitivities to cold and hot weather

Post Reply New Topic

I'm very sensitive to temperature. I get really uncomfortable in warm weather and cold weather is not much better for me. I like fall and spring best because they have more moderate and less extreme temperatures.

I'm sensitive to heat, but I think I'm normal with cold temperatures. And like others have said, it's easier to get warm when it's cold than to get cool when it's warm.

Plus, when it's cold, I can cover up with tons of blankets without getting too hot. It's heavenly.

Im sensitive to heat and become uncomfortably warm when feeling any type of stress, I can become accustomed to dry heat, but not humidity.

Yes, I tend to be temperature sensitive, in that if it's only mild chilly outside I'll start to shiver even if it's not very cold actual temperature wise as well, I tend to start sweating when it's not intensely hot either, wherein most people look at me as being odd.

All of these issues are also true for me. I hate being overly warm, and I'd be happy if it stayed around 70F or below year round. The cold doesn't bother me as long as I'm dressed for it; I don't typically wear a jacket of any sort until it gets down to the mid-40s.

The worst is when I'm at work and have to wear long pants year round. My job has me working outdoors and in some indoor locations without AC at times. The heat and humidity in summertime make me really uncomfortable and irritable, and getting damp from sweat (and having my clothes stick to my skin) only makes it worse.

It's finally getting cooler here in Tennessee now that Fall has arrived, and it's a hugely welcome respite from the oppressive heat of summer. I'm looking forward to doing some hiking again.

You would love the Oregon Coast. It only gets above 75 two or three days a year here. Most days never get above 70, even in the summer.

I would love it! One of my dreams is to move to the Seattle area or maybe Portland, if I can't ever just straight up leave the country!

Unfortunately I think Portland might be too hot for you in the summer. Portland and all inland areas of Oregon get very hot in the summer. Most days are in the 80s and 90s, and even get over 100 some times. But the Coast almost always stays cool. Seattle would probably be more to your liking. At least the average summer temperature there would be right around your 75 mark.

I've always been very sensitive to heat. It tends to make me feel very sick and irritable. Cold didn't bother me a whole lot in the past but I seem to be becoming sensitive to it as well, though in a significantly different way. I think I may be developing an allergy to it. (Sadly, that is not a joke.)

The problem I have with cold weather (like below 35F), is that when I breathe that freezing air, I can feel it going all the way into my lungs, and my lungs feel like they are going to explode. Plus my face and any exposed skin gets numb almost immediately, especially if it's windy. Eventually the cold penetrates my clothing and I end up feeling like I'm going to die.

Hot temperatures don't bother me as much, but I prefer the temperature not be more then 70 or 75. I start having some heat related issues if the temperature gets over 80. But I can deal with that a lot better then with cold weather.

I hate hot weather, at best it makes me miserable, at worse it makes me faint (which makes me feel like a helpless victorian lady ). I love cold weather though, if I could I'd stay in an autumn/winter climate all year.

I love love love hot/warm weather, and I love being warm in general. As for cold weather...well, I seriously want to go live somewhere tropical.

I get warm real easily and find the heat oppressive. Seldom will you see me with long sleeves unless it's in the 30's outdoors with a windchill factor. Any heat and I will feel faint, dizzy, nauseous...I thought I'd get used to it but no. I'm like the boy in the Scarlet Ibis but with a slightly happier ending.

I too get very irritable in the heat. I shut down if I get too hot. What's the worst part for me is actually the beating sun. The brightness of the mid afternoon on a summer day when there's not a cloud in the sky is so unpleasant to me. I also hate to wear any kind of glasses so I will not wear sunglasses. Things on my face annoy the hell out of me.

I can tolerate extreme cold with proper clothing, but I suppose most people can.

I rather warm weather than cool weather. In the winter, I often have trouble playing the piano because my hands get numb and I can't move them fast enough. I still don't understand how I can feel so cold at school while the other students are complaining about it being hot.

It's the combination of your blood type, body fat% and your internal body temp. Mine is 99.2°F so I'm very sensitive to the heat.
