Oh, that sounds delightful.
I live in Canada, and I am massively heat intolerant. I also suffer from hyperhydrosis, where any temp over 26℃ eventually makes me look like a drowned rat. Like, literally. You put me in a room at 28-30℃ and within about 10 minutes of not moving a muscle my entire face is beading off sweat like someone just dumped a bucket of water over my head, and my shirt is soaked right through.
14℃ is the lower limit for shorts-and-t-shirt temps for me, and represents the ideal shirt-and-tie office temp. It’s also the best temp for heavy physical labour with my shirt off, as sweat can actually have a chance of evaporating faster than I produce it, especially with some sort of a brisk wind. Sweater or business jacket temps start at 6-8℃, and it is only with a cold, super-moist wind that I throw on any kind of a winter jacket above 4℃.
That's the other thing, everyone feels hot/cold differently, and you also adapt to some degree.
I was in Cairns one April, and it was 28C and about 1000% humidity.I was sweating my ass off in a t-shirt and shorts. And there goes a local pedalling away on his bike with a hoodie and sweatpants on. I nearly had heat stroke just seeing it!
