Vlt. A stupid question, but e.g. I always see a lot of videos (Youtube, Twitch, etc.) of people who run around with long clothes even when it's warmer. I notice that very often, from my point of view these are no exceptions…
Now I ask myself whether you might perceive warmth differently if you live in warm places from birth? I can't explain it to myself otherwise, that I often see people with long clothes at ~ 30 degrees.
What do you think? Or do I imagine that? Just one
You perceive the heat differently, of course. With their long clothes they protect themselves from the sun, which is very sensible.
The body screws down its energy consumption, so that, for example, it is already frozen at 20 ° C…
Yeah yeah
In Egypt there's 20 ° C deep winter. None of the locals go swimming there and everyone is cold.
Here in DE, minus 15 ° C is pretty much the coldest thing there's.
Further north, when the outside temperature is + 10 ° C, people sometimes go swimming outside…
People who live in the desert wear long clothes so that the sun doesn't burn their skin. The locals care less about the heat than people who are not used to it…
It's just the temperature! Here, where I live, I also find 20 degrees quite uncomfortable, as the humidity is 95%. Then you can freeze at 20 degrees.
The temperature is not so important, but the humidity. The higher it is, the more you sweat and the more disgusting it feels. In African countries there's a very dry warmth. 40 degrees are usually more pleasant than 28 degrees with us. Therefore long clothes are not a problem, especially since they are very airy and light. It even protects against solar radiation.
A matter of adaptation that also works for Central Europeans. Loosely airy clothes are more comfortable there than when the sun burns directly on your skin. A little wind, 40 ° C is not a big problem either…
Ah, good to know. And what about the humidity in the USA?
