I went to a country on the equator that cracked the code. Live at the equator but on a bigass mountain many thousands of feet in the air and you’ll get the consistent days and weather but at a temperature that won’t roast puny AC adapted people alive 😭🧠
That’s not the only problem. I lived without AC for the first quarter of my life, so living in Canada’s only semi-arid desert I have had to tolerate a lot of hot summers. But where everyone else had the lightest artistic sheen of sweat across their brow while complaining about the heat, I looked like a drowned rat.
Turns out my core temp runs nearly a full ℃ lower than most everyone else, and my body struggles like hell to keep me appropriately cool. Learned that gem in my late 40s.
When the doc tested my heat tolerance - and being of German parents I have used wet saunas all my life - turns out that my wet bulb threshold is a good 3℃ lower than the average person.
Climate change can and will be literally more lethal to me than most other people.
Also, the record high temperature in Singapore (1 degree north of the equator) is 9 degrees Celsius lower (37C) than France's record (46C).
