I’m also from PA and moved to a southern state. It’s fun when it’s 60 degrees out and everyone is walking around in winter jackets and scarves and I’m in a t-shirt literally dripping sweat. My first winter it was 55 out and someone said “I can’t wait for spring to come, I’m so sick of the cold.” I just looked at them and said “uh… where I come from, this is spring.”
Comment on Can I build up immunity to cold temperature?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 1 year agoJust backing up all of this. I’m from PA and I remember one year we spent Christmas in Tampa. First time I could wear shorts outside on Christmas, while everyone else was sporting pants and at least a hoodie, if not a coat.

60f is 15c for any other non Americans

I’d be 100% fine if it was 55 degrees year around.

I grew up in a northern state and used to pride myself as a teen that I could wear a t shirt in the snow or be wearing a hoodie at the busstop while others had winter coats.
After a some years in Southern Florida a slight breeze bringing it to 70 degrees gets me into a sweater lol
The body really acclimates. It used to be so hot the first summer and nowadays it’s not a big deal. But actually this summer has been unusually hot, however that seems a bit anomalous.
