Why am I not as hot this summer as I "should" be?

Question

It's summer here in Minnesota and this is a hot week! Temperatures of 90 degrees all week. Everybody is sweating outside! Except me, I am warm but not as hot and sweaty as everybody else is. Usually I am, last summer I was way hotter than this summer at the same temperatures. I am trying to figure out why this is! I am in good shape but I'm not sure I'm in better shape than I was in last summer but I am not as hot all the time! Even outside at 90 degrees (F) with a light wind I am pretty comfortable in a t-shirt and shorts. Last summer I'd have been all sweaty! Why is this? I can't figure it out. I think maybe my body is just adapting to the heat but then why is this the first summer it has adapted so well?

Answer 1

Human Bodies adapt to the climates they're living in. It is very likely your body grew used to having warm weather and didn't react as strongly to the heat. When I went to hawaii during the summer the first three days were h**l. But I slowly ajusted to the heat.
