I bet you’re casually discounting the fact that you spend most of that time with 40+C temps in an air conditioned space.
At 42 degrees your body can’t cool down and this causes a lot of deaths or even the “casual” fainting described in the article due to hyperthermia. This goes way beyond your subjective feeling.
- wodenokoto 1y agoYou right in the sense that I rarely spend more than 10 minutes in either 37 nor 42 degrees at a time. I thought this thread was discussing the subjective feelings of temperature.
- close04 1y agoI think the whole thread is to show the Celsius scale in particular but temperature degrees have different impacts in different places in general, but especially in the range supporting human life. One degree can mean nothing or be the difference between being alive or dead, depending on where that degree is on the scale and maybe other compounding factors like humidity. Talking about relative temperature differences without anchoring to an absolute reference is meaningless. Using percentages is even worse.
