I’m usually a cold lover, but this summer I’ve had to suck it up. I’ve been working in London, UK in an office where it’s usually above 25c (no proper AC and south facing windows) and my apartment is often the same temperature when I go to sleep (one night it was 29c/84F). A few observations I’ve made: - Even when it’s this temperature, a fan blowing air over you really helps to increase comfort. Too much airflow is also uncomfortable (messes with the NC on my headphones), and most desk fans are too powerful even on their lowest settings. - I’ve started eating less which seems to reduce my metabolism causing the heat to effect me less. It’s a trade-off as if I eat too little I can’t work as effectively, but there’s a local optimum vs being too uncomfortable from the heat. - Shorts and t-shirt everyday. Even then I’m still sweating for the next hour if I do anything strenuous outside. - People who are always cold don’t seem to understand the discomfort people experience from heat. In my home country in the depths of winter it often gets to 15c/60F or less in old buildings. I’d much rather that with lots of layers and hot drinks, than be too hot. Maybe they feel the same about the heat though, can anyone comfortably work in an office environment that is 35c/95F?
