      Depends on the person and what they were acclimated to as the norm in an area. I start to get increasingly disfunctional starting at about 75f, once it gets to 80f it is difficult for me to focus on tasks that aren’t directly related to cooling myself down, and 85f+ my day is a wash

        Medical conditions also play a role in it. I’m on medications that make me wicked susceptible to overheating. I start melting at 75°F if there is even a mild amount of humidity. And that’s at home where I can dress comfortably.

          This is the way to go. Without conditioning I’d die when running at 30C. But with gradually rising temperatures you get accustomed to it. There are nicer things in life but it’s absolutely possible

        What different people can handle is wild. I mowed yesterday through 98° weather. It was miserably fucking hot, but I wasn’t impaired.

        However, when it’s slightly below freezing and we get half an inch of snow? Everything shuts down for a week and no one can function.

          Yeah and I thrive below freezing lol. My mood improves, I have more energy, I get very excited and active, bonus points if it has been overcast for months I love that shit. Honestly I think I have SAD the opposite direction of most people

      • Acclimation just takes practice. Its not like southerners are genetically different. And plenty of southerns have the same problem because they’re willing to pay like $500/month to keep their houses an icebox in the summer and don’t spend time outside in the summer…

          While Tru but at the same time southerners have all year long to acclimate to hot weather meanwhile people up north have to go to work in the cold winter half the year and only have the summer to acclimate to hot weather
