🕊️Announcement 🕊️

So I keep getting sick again! Not my fault when the weather is so, so, so hot nowadays 😑

I try to go out less, drink a lot of water, and bathe more. But I still need to buy groceries and hang clothes outside (yeah… no dryer at home 🫠).

So hurray. Got heatstroke today. Haha 😂

Anyway… let’s talk science 🔭🧪

🌡️ Why 34°C Weather Feels So Uncomfortable (Even If It’s Lower Than Body Temperature)

You might think 34°C shouldn’t feel that bad since it’s lower than your body temperature (~37°C). But comfort isn’t about simple comparison — it’s about how your body loses heat.

---

🔥 1. Your body needs to release heat, not compare temperatures

🧪 Your body constantly produces heat. To stay stable, it must release that heat into the environment.

But when the air is around 34°C:

🧪 it’s almost the same temperature as your skin

🧪 heat escapes very slowly

🧪 your body struggles to cool down

🧪 So instead of feeling fine, your body ends up feeling “stuck” in heat.

💦 2. Humidity makes it worse

In humid weather:

🧪 sweat doesn’t evaporate properly

🧪 evaporation cooling becomes ineffective

🧪 you feel hotter and more exhausted

That’s why tropical weather can feel way worse than the actual number.

🌬️ 3. Cooling depends on temperature difference

🧪 Heat naturally moves from hot → cold.

🧪 If the difference is small, your body can’t release heat efficiently.

So when:

🧪 skin temperature ≈ air temperature

🧪 your cooling system basically slows down.

---

🧠 Simple way to think about it

🧪 Your body is like a machine that needs airflow to cool itself.

🧪 If the surrounding air is also hot, the system struggles — and you feel tired, sticky, and uncomfortable.

---

🧊 Bottom line

Even if 34°C is lower than body temperature, it still feels bad because your body can’t efficiently get rid of heat.
