Why do so many people prefer warmer weather to colder weather?

Question

If the weather is cold there is always a way to make yourself comfortably warm by adding just the right type of clothing and layering your clothing if necessary. On the other hand if it's warm all you can do is keep stripping off clothes until your naked. Once you're naked that's pretty much it you can't get any cooler than that clothing wise. At least until someone invents AC'd clothing. Thoughts?

Answer 1

I always say the same thing!!!  I prefer cool weather.  Warm is okay, but not hot.  And cool, but not negative degrees.  My favorite season is mid-late fall and early winter.  You can wear sweaters, but you can also get away with t-shirts and a jacket.  I'm not a happy camper in the summer.  Being hot makes me cranky.  Lol.

Answer 2

The normal human body temp is 98.6; our bodies are set up to keep it this temperature...so the closer the actual air temp is to this, the more comfortable we get. Of course as the air temp approaches 98.6 and above, our bodies become increasingly unable to cool our exteriors, the sweat that normally cools the skin by evaporation no longer is effective, and our interior organs become overheated.  It seems that over the course of eons, our bodies have evolved to grow less body hair, and we have become more dependant on clothing to keep us warm..in fact, we are now totally dependant on clothing for our survival in most climates on earth -hot or cold.  We are physically less able to cope with extremes in temperature then ever before.  My guess is that we will continue to prefer warmer climates, and less extremes, as we get less able to cope with variances in temperature.

Answer 3

i like colder weather

Answer 4

i LOVE colder weather..i think ppl like cold weather because we are naturally at a high temperature. our bodies temperature is usually on average about 98.6 degrees.

Answer 5

People prefer warmer weather because it is easier to acclimate for it but removing layers of clothes. Unlile wearing too much clotheing in the winter. if you wear too much layers of clothing in the winter you could acually go into hypothermia, as your body arms up you can sweatand as the sweat cools off it gets cold real fast. it is better to wear clothing that lets the moisture out but keeps you body warm.

I normaly wear the Under Armor long sleeve shirt under a T-Shirt in the winter, and then just a jacket, hoody or a windbreaker and never have a problem with being cold.
