I tend to walk slower when I'm going a longer distance because I want to avoid arriving at my destination drenched in sweat, although I suppose this could be driven partially by the fact that I live in a tropical city (Hong Kong).

I live in Poland, and there I can walk very fast without visibly sweating, except on the hottest days of the summer, and during winter iff I wear too thick clothes. Been to HK/Shenzhen in early winter, and what you have there then seems equivalent to our summers :).
- nicolas_t 8y agoI also live in Hong Kong and I did notice that people seem to walk faster in Winter than Summer :) I do think that the weather is a factor that should be studied... Another factor is location, I've found that people walk faster in Central than in other places but that might follow their theory about money.
