That's what I tell people too when they complain about the "cold" I tell them, if you're cold, you can put on some clothes and keep going, if it's hot, you can take off all your clothes, you'll just be naked and hot!dt61 said:
Can YOU handle the heat?

I moved to Trondheim. It's 20 c (70 f) average max in summer. That's about all the heat I can take. I wanted to go further north,but there is nothing there. People who complain about cold in that weather should probably come and visit me at my aunts place in Daugavpils, Latvia, in winter, were, last winter it was usually around (-20 F) -30 c.
Good thing about Puerto Rico, booty shorts, ALL.YEAR.ROUND. The ladies wear em too hahahahaha!J/k don't go getting a mental picture about dudes in booty shorts, im not responsible if you end up hurlingthiosk said:
OK, but seriously this time. Part of the problem with people who complain about the heat is that they live in a temperate zone, as I do. The body is exposed to a range of temperatures, and some people don't seem to adapt well to the extreme temperatures.
But the human body is perfectly capable of adapting to 90' and 95' heat. The process of adapting isn't much fun at all, I'll grant you. I specifically remember that at different times I was sweating bullets at a temperature of 70'. Then about a year later - a time when I was working at this kiln that got to be precisely Ungodly Degrees Fahrenheit - I would be doing precisely the same things as a year ago, but perfectly cool skin at a room temperature of 80'. A full 10' hotter, but I was dealing with the heat much better.
Of course, I was still suffering when exposed to kiln temperatures.

I'm irish. Heat means sunburns up the fucking wazoo.
I prefer the cold. Warming up is easier than cooling down.

I live in Alaska. I can handle temps down around -50F, but anything over 80 and I start melting.

Iabsolutely cannot stand the heat, it's horrible. But, let me translate those weird numbers to real temperatures so I can see what you're talking about...
Ok, 90F = 32C - that's nothing. Standard spring and early autumn temperatures here.
70F = 21C - What? That's still a little warmer than I'd like. 18C (around 65F) is what I'd consider a comfortable temperature. Cool enough to wear a long sleeved shirt comfortably, but still too warm for a jumper.
Summer here in Western Australia has weeks at a time of weather reaching 44C (111F) during the day and cooling to 35C (95F) at night... Then back up to the mid-forties the next day.

thanks for converting it and i must agree, 32C is nothing try south africa good ole 42+ every day with droughts too
We're going through a GLORIOUS cold spell right now, but I can handle up to 35ish degrees C and still function quite readily. Of course, we get plenty of 40+ in summer, and I usually just spend the whole day wishing I was in England or something.
I hate it when people complain about <30 degrees, and there are probably some of you hating my complaining even at occasional 40s. Of course, those people are probably wizards for surviving so long in so warm a place.

Here in mid July and august it'll go up to 115-116 daily, like I said, I live in the hottest city in the island, while it'll be 115 here, up north(I live in the south) it'll be in the 90's. The temperature is not the bad part, it's the humidity which makes it feel like you're taking deep breaths inside of an oven.lithium.jelly said:
No, I'm a true viking all the way man. I'd rather be too cold than a bit too warm. Although temperatures don't often go over 35 Celsius here in Sweden so my opinion of warm differs a bit from yours I'd bet =P (25 Celsius outdoors is when it starts getting uncomfortable IMO - 23C indoors.)
EDIT: To clarify 32C (90F) is awful to me. But as long as there's a nice breeze going it's bearable. Unfortunately my flat has been known to be 35C in the summer...
