Heat Sensitivity

Post Reply New Topic

Growing up in Kansas, I have had the pleasure of being out in 120 degree F summer days and -30 degree F winter days (not the windchill). While uncomfortable, you do get used to the temperature extremes over time. I kinda miss those extremes where I live now.

I hate midwest summers, the humidity and heat. Also, severe weather puts my nerves on edge. At the same time, I am so tired of Midwest winters. I wouldn't mind someplace with less severe winters.

try the south puget sound or olympic peninsula area of washington, about as temperate as they come.

I hate heat + humidity. I can hardly function when it’s like that.

I can somewhat tolerate the dry Summer heat here in New Mexico.

I despise feeling hot & sweaty/sticky.

how hot [temperature in degrees] does it have to get in that dry heat before people sweat profusely?

Don't forget high UV radiation to, it makes it feel worse. Sunburn is a major concern especially if your pale. Me personally it really isn't the heat I hate but high uv radiation to be honest.

that is why i likely never will live anyplace other than the western half of washington state.

A lot of places have a similar climate to the western half of Washington state. The climate zone of Western Washington is in between San Francisco, California, and Anchorage, Alaska. The British Isles and Western Europe also have the same climate to along with Tasmania and New Zealand as well as Tierra del Fuego in South America.

West coast is the place to be.

Were you there during record heat or something. Is 120 f the heat index or actual heat, when did you experience 120 f summer days and -30 f winter days.

a freak hot weather day occurred in 2009 here in western washington, a local heat record of 113F [thankfully just a day and night] caused my a/c units to overload, it was 90F inside and totally miserable.

I prefer "natural". You know cold in winter and hot in summer. I appreciate all seasons and weathers. We don't have air conditioners and just get hot and sweaty in summer. I do keep a large collection of assorted clothes for every season. I haven't shopped at all since the pandemic started and I think my wardrobe will be adequate for years.

Why do the options include hot, cold, warm, but not cool? That would be my preference. Cool, but not cold.

I fare very poorly in heat. It does not take much heat to turn my brain off, and if I can not cool down soon it makes me physically sick (vomiting, bowel evacuations) and I can not think for the rest of the day, even if I subsequently cool down.

Friends say my symptoms resemble "heatstroke" but I looked into heatstroke, and it is a consequence of dehydration. Overheating does these horrible things to me even when I stay well hydrated, so that is clearly not it.

I am happiest in the lower to mid sixties (Fahrenheit) and I really start to suffer badly in the lower eighties.

Not a fan of hot weather, particularly when coupled with humidity. I prefer when temperatures are below about 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

12-18 ℃ in the outside is about the most preferable depending a bit on activity level etc. Frying summer sunlight often gives me headache and makes me feel dizzy.
