I like that table, and when I’ve been in Europe it’s pretty much what I’ve used. Oddly though while 30 degrees in southern Germany feels unbearably hot, 86 degrees in southern California is warmer than ideal, but not what I’d call scorching. I wonder to what extent it’s physical factors besides temperature and if there is a psychological effect from the temperature scales.
- wongarsu 6y agoHumidity is a major factor. We cool our body below ambient temperature through evaporation cooling (sweat), which works much better in dry air. From experience I'd say a sauna with 45°C and 80% humidity is about comparable with one at 80°C and 10% humidity.
