We went to Dominican last year and it was 33/34 most days but humid as fuck and quite unpleasant at times for a meal. Egypt in August was more bearable as it is dryer heat but still too much for me at 40/41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. That's why I stay. I remember Mounts putting up a picture when he was abroad at Christmas- each to their own but the crowds on the beach would be anathema to me.

Quite. Not sure 34 or 40 in the shade feels a massive amount different, especially if you have a breeze or tree cover. But sat in direct sunlight by a pool and white buildings I think you might notice it burning your bonce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, they give temperatures measured in the shade. But who the fuck cares about shade temperatures if you’re trying to top up your tan? If you want hot, get to Las Vegas where the only respite from the heat is ducking into the AC’d casinos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wehn Mrs Sweeps sister lived in Dubai, we used to go over a couple of times a year.....we once went in July, fucking hell, that was hot, easily in the mid 40's during the day, at night it would cool down to a more bearable 35C @Elvislived there for a while, so I'm sure he's seen some silly temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperatures start to ramp up end of April through to end of October. I had temperatures showing in the early 50's during July and August!! Those poor Filipino workers on construction sites !

Was the doctor not talking about Brits? I’ve been to Spain in February and all the Brits were in shorts and t-shirts whilst all the Spaniards were in padded coats. It’s relative to what you’re used to, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it depend on where your from though? - Do African people deal with extreme heat better than people from Nothern Europe say? - In the same way, do Inuit folk deal with chilly cold temperatures better than Europeans who live along the Med? I know humans are pretty much are, irrespective of colour/creed kind of "built" the same, but there must be something that makes people born and bred for many generations in certain locals deal with those environments better - or is it down to clothing 😃 - do we need to start sporting loin clothes in the summer and seal furs in the winter?

I'm sure you do get better at coping, some by lifestyle- siestas etc. Darker skins cope with the damaging rays better. Not just the heat though- water is the problem, as that gets scarcer, folk can't live in the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
