We're not more tolerant of it. We just realize that it's like this all the time so we stop complaining about it because it's nothing new. I don't know what your life is like, so I can't really comment on this. Maybe you haven't spent enough time in the cold. Maybe you wear warm clothes too much to adapt to the cold. Who knows.

How much of that is psychological? Imo it's all in your head, but the article says that your internal functions change as well. Is that due to the environment itself directly, or your mind? The environment affects gene expression. "Full acclimatization, however, requires days or even weeks. Gradually, the body compensates for the respiratory alkalosis by renal excretion of bicarbonate, allowing adequate respiration to provide oxygen without risking alkalosis. It takes about four days at any given altitude and is greatly enhanced by acetazolamide.[15] Eventually, the body has lower lactate production (because reduced glucose breakdown decreases the amount of lactate formed), decreased plasma volume, increased hematocrit (polycythemia), increased RBC mass, a higher concentration of capillaries in skeletal muscle tissue, increased myoglobin, increased mitochondria, increased aerobic enzyme concentration, increase in 2,3-BPG, hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, and right ventricular hypertrophy.[1]"

Just saying, though; amongst the very first people who engaged in civilized practices did so in this torrid heat. Mesopotamia =/= Arabia.

That's why when the weather is reported, it's suspiciously always 48 or 49 or 47 degrees, even if it's actually 60. Great country. Is it a dry heat though? If it's high humidity that's just deadly. Also why are you in Saudia Arabia?

Corporal Posts: 28 Group: Member Member #242 Joined: August 14, 2011	I live in Miami. Fuck the summer, I hate it. Can't walk from house to car without getting wet. Walk from building to car, sit down in car, back is fucking wet. It sucks.... I love the cold, bring the winter. Please! i want to wear my sexy long sleeved shirts and my cardigans, my blazers, my vests, my coats! In the words of Ned Stark, WINTER IS COMING! I love it!
