yet another comment calling experts idiots. I so wish people would be open to acknowledge that other people might know more about a subject than them anyway.

yet another comment calling experts idiots. I so wish people would be open to acknowledge that other people might know more about a subject than them
anyway.
using the magic of google I found:
>Use fans, but only if indoor temperatures are less than 90°F. In temperatures above 90°F, a fan can increase body temperature.
https://www.cdc.gov/heat-health/about/index.html https://www.cdc.gov/heat-health/about/index.html
further searches led to:
>under the hot and dry conditions, however, the fans increased body temperature, the strain on the heart, and thermal discomfort. In other words, the fans worked better at higher heat index temperatures.
>There’s a physiological explanation: When air temperature soars above skin temperature, then the exchange of air between the body and the air switches; rather than dissipating away from the body, heat from the hotter air starts to flow into the body.

which cites this study:
Nathan B. Morris, Timothy English, Lily Hospers, et al. The Effects of Electric Fan Use Under Differing Resting Heat Index Conditions: A Clinical Trial. Ann Intern Med.2019;171:675-677. doi:10.7326/M19-0512
Searching the doi on google scholar reveals the stuyd, published in 2019, has 75 citations so far
