Yorkshire people go around in shorts and T shirt in winter, and take their tops off in summer.

Singaporeans being hot at 34ºC and cold at 24ºC Sub-80°F/27°C can feel chilly to lowland Indonesians with rain and winds, while 75°F/24°C+ can feel hot to us under the sun. So we can technically feel cold in a temperature warmer than a temperature we'd feel hot.
Keyword: "apparent temp"
It’s not the rain and wind that makes 80F feel cold in Singapore, it’s natural selection of of the locals. No way 80F would feel cold, especially with the the humidity of Singapore. It’s known that evolution affected climatic adaptation in humans. Notice how Singaporeans are very thin and lack body hair. Of course they would feel cold at high temperatures. |

Then why under the sun, the same temp can feel hot? Because sunlight contains infrared rays which are absorbed by your skin and heat you up. If you stand in the shade it doesn’t matter if the sun is out or not, although sunny days usually feel cooler in the shade due to lower humidity. |

Fake comments. Ethnic Antarcticans lie a lot about their cold tolerance.

We react to temperatures differently based on season.
In the first 4 months of the season, 12C is considered balmy tropical weather and you can always see someone showing off in shorts.
From May to November, 12C is considered super chilly even though 12C is above seasonal in November.
In December people are so tired of the endless gloom and darkness that they don't really care it's 12C.

I mean yeah sure, a thin person is going to get colder, and thick body hair can protect against wind and keep clothing from making direct contact with skin but I doubt genetic differences between ethnicities have a very significant and noticable effect. Stuff like fat levels have much more to do with socioeconomic and cultural factors anyway. Most of the countries with the highest obesity rates are hot and tropical. When I was in Thailand there were a couple of rainy 26'C days that did indeed feel pretty cold in shorts and t-shirt. And I've talked to immigrants from Africa who after living in Sweden for a few years now thinks Umean heatwaves are too hot for their comfort. |

You might have felt chilly at 26C because you were soaking wet, exposed to the wind and/or have developed some acclimatization to tropical climates due to travelling to the tropics often. Either that, or you had a fever at the time. The Africans and you met who told you Sweden got to hot during heat waves either lived in Sweden for so long they have acclimatized to the climate and lost their heat tolerance, or they were from highland regions of Africa. Genetic differences between ethnicities do account for heat and cold tolerance. I highly doubt an Aurignacian or Gravettian who survived -50C cold waves while living in mud huts and wearing improvised animal skins would ever feel cold at 20C. |

Exactly lol, the heat tolerance they might've had when they lived in Africa disappeared so it wasn't genetic. I'm sure an Aurignacian would feel cold at 20C if they were born and grew up in today's Singapore. |
