I live in a pretty hot climate, but it’s only really unbearable at times due to shoddy building and bad urban planning. Even then, summer can be difficult.

I can’t imagine what it’s like on the equator, especially in dense urban centres. What’s Mumbai, Bangkok, or Singapore like at the height of the wet season?! How do millions of people function day to day?

    With cold, you can layer appropriate clothing. And you can find much better appropriate clothing for purchase in the places that require it than you can find in your shops, along with advice from people who live there. Just don’t follow the example of the cargo shorts at -40° boys.

      I’d rather be blistering hot than wrapped up in layers and living inside stuffy heated buildings

        I avoid both by living in LA. We have our disasters natural and human, but our temperature is usually pleasant and always bearable.

        I live in central Europe, fuck the cold, fuck all the layers have to put on, i’d be rather drenched in my ballsweat than this shit.

        My mood/mental health/general will to live noticeably nosedives as the cold temperatures come around.
