Leave it to the Japanese to be genuinely interested in high-maintenance convenience gadgets. And yes I've been to Japan in the middle of summer. 35C isn't your problem, it's the near 100% humidity that makes people uncomfortable.
- TheRealPomax 8y agoThen again, "I'm too hot" can be solved on an individual level, even if the solution is bulky (thermoregulating vests are a real thing). "It is too humid" is not a problem you can even start solving other indoor climate control and never going outside.
- dgzl 8y agoI've solved the humidity problem: get comfortable with being sweaty. High heat on the other hand, especially in combination with humidity, would have serious effects. Where I'm from, it occasionally will get to 110F, and rarely 115F, sometimes higher (albeit, with low humidity). I've seen recycling bins melted to the sidewalk on the hottest days. How much water do you (reader) drink in a given day? I wonder how drastic the effects of heat and sweat vary, depending on how much water a person has.
