As opposed to being too hot all over and desperate for anything that gives the slightest momentary relief. Not being able stand any activity because movement just makes you hotter and the heat has sapped your will to live. Being sweaty all over no matter what you do because it's all your body can do to keep you alive.

Our bodies generate heat. When trying to warm up, physics is on our side. When trying to cool down, we are fighting a losing battle. You're worrying about typing in gloves while I'm trying to figure how to waterproof my whole system so I can work from my shower.

That only helps up to about 80F for me. Beyond that, it's just misery with a breeze.

Ok. It introduces wind. Temps still remain high.
