    Acclimatization is a whole thing. I remember thinking 65F / 18C was cold once upon a time, then I moved north and now only bother putting on a jacket if it’s below 40F / 5C or so (but now I start seriously suffering above 85F / 30 C where that used to be my ideal temp).

    People who pretend certain temps are objectively not that cold or hot have never moved from one climate to another, I think. The person you replied to must be from a hot area.

      I spent a week in the Rockies and when I got home, my house at 24°C was just too damn hot I just drank ice water and sat in my underwear.

      Yep. I lived in the middle East and SE Asia combined for around 12 years, and while occasionally it was too much, in general I loved the heat and rarely said “its too hot”, I moved back to the UK 3 years ago, in June. Hated it, was cold all the time. Now when it’s more than 25c / 77F on a calm and clear day I’m boiling and can’t sleep at night (barely anyone in the UK has ac at home).

      But what can you do if your area climate includes 110+ F summers and below 0 winters? Besides moving, that is.
