Lol, I'd get along with your parents just fine. I get chilly when it's under 70 and we have our ac set to kick on when it's over 82. I'm finding the weather here very much to my liking, but I like it warm.

Do you eat lunch at 9am?

But really, I'm not saying it was dry all day but you can see it drop off when the temperature reaches the upper 80s.

The point is that each human body has different tolerances and comfort levels. There is no one temp and one dewpoint, which is perfect for every human body.

That's not the point. The point is it will feel the same to every human body. Whether or not you tolerate it is another story, but it will still FEEL the SAME.

Not really. For some it will FEEL wonderful and for others it will FEEL awful.

That is true...even beyond personal preference...there is a genetic component...when I was pregnant with my daughter in nyc during a heat wave in August I was told by my OB to stay indoors with ac.I asked was this pregnancy related?... and she replied no that because of my fair coloring I would not tolerate the heat as well as others do...I also think you can condition yourself to tolerate heat...like many fair skinned athletes do...but it's easier to stay indoors...

And you missed my point.... again.

Your body, your skin, will feel 110 degree temperatures just the same as the rest of us will. What the difference will be is your tolerance to it.

Well, you keep using the word "tolerance". What I am saying is that it is not a matter of tolerance, but a matter what people like. Some like it hot, some not. Some sweat at certain temps or humidity and others at different temps or humidity. You may like it at 50 degrees and I may prefer it at 85 degrees. That's why I do not go by the feels like. Because it may feel hot to you and not to me. That's all.
