I was always told that when and where you were born and "gestated" determined what type of weather you preferred. For me, it was on the east coast, in the middle of winter. Which may explain why intense heat makes me tired, sick, and miserable.

That's funny, because the other day, there was a topic about heat records in South Carolina. I found that at the time and place of my birth, it was a record 108 degrees. That explains a lot! In mid-July, the heat index would've had to been at least in the 120's, but I can only guess.

Doesn't work for me.
Born in mid-April, that's just barely spring here. Might have been cold (40's F) too. Nine-months before mid April brings my possible date of conception to mid July. So for most of the gestation period it wasn't warm, most of it being in fall and winter.

Oh, well it more than explains my situation. I crave low temperatures and snow from mid-December to mid-March down here.
That's a fun idea about where you were born and all, but it's probably about as valid as an astrological reading at a carnival.
Certain aspects of our gestation environment do affect us for life, but I doubt our climate preferences are strongly influenced by that phase of coming into the world. Given that we're insulated from weather while in the womb, the real influence is the mother's behavior and diet in response to the weather. That makes a serious difference in the environment of the fetus. If mom is behaving like it's the coldest year in history, the chemical signals to the fetus will probably have a lasting physiological effect on the developing human inside her.

Interesting...
When it's 72 F or cooler inside, almost half the time my mom's cold. Cold toes, cold hands, even cold nose. Sometimes she's hot when it's above 75 F. She often feels hot above 85 F but she loves to be in the Carribbean so much; winter, spring, fall and sometimes summer, that it appears that what she calls hot weather is not really a problem. Sometimes she wonders why we don't live there.

Well, seeing as how weather can change the body temperature, I'm sure that the baby is able to have some kind of contact with it.

Not a bad theory but I was born in August in Texas and I hate anything above 70 degrees. I keep my house at about 65 in the summer and don't even turn the heat on in the winter. Although maybe I'm adopted and the whole born in Texas thing was just a lie....

Lol, wow. I guess it's wrong after all. Who knows? Maybe it really is just about personal preference and identity.

Not true for me either, I was born in Texas and well..........you know how I feel about that
