I've been taking cold showers for about a month just because it's been extra hot and humid where I'm from (Singapore), and I've actually been really enjoying it

  Perhaps a river or lake can provide you with colder temperatures? I've got a similar issue, I practice outdoor swimming the year round and the temperature doesn't get below 4 degrees. I've got to move countries to swim in colder water

    > Perhaps a river or lake can provide you with colder temperatures? Nah, down there in the equatorial tropics, the only things that get much below 20°C are those in fridges or freezers. The aircons don't go below 16°C.

    Not really, unfortunately: http://www.seatemperature.org/asia/singapore/singapore.htm http://www.seatemperature.org/asia/singapore/singapore.htm

  I recently moved to Singapore and assumed cold showers were pretty much the norm here. Can confirm it's not comparable to having a cold shower elsewhere though, in terms of willpower :)

  I'm not sure a 20 degree shower really counts as a cold shower. That is a comfortable swimming temperature on most summer days and people can easily spend 20-30 minutes in water just to cool off even if they are unaccustomed to taking cold showers at home. I've only been to such hot countries on vacation, and I think if asked, most people would confirm that they mostly don't use the hot water, except perhaps to sanitize hands with soap.
