I find it far easier to acclimatize to the heat than the cold, taking a couple of days of exercise for the heat rather than weeks of shivering for the cold. I think weather preferences boil down to what you're used to; what you experience and/or remember...while I prefer warm/hot weather, I still also prefer a bit of seasonality because I'm used to living in moderate-seasonality subtropical climates, and also somewhat influenced by childhood memory-nostalgia of the occasional cold spells (e.g. early 2014 cold snaps). That’s subjective. I acclimated to the cold in just a few days, it was when I went to southern Patagonia for the first time and experienced sub -10C temperatures for the first time. The first days in Patagonia were uncomfortable to me but some 5 days later everything was ok and the -15 to -18C temperatures didn’t bother me at all as long as I was properly dressed. Now, I have been to the lowlands of my country several times, but I took years to acclimate to the 30C+ temperatures. The highest temperature ever recorded in my hometown, which is located in the highlands, was just 32C and most summers don’t even go above 30C at all. After years and years of visiting the lowlands, I finally managed to acclimatize to 35C temperatures. In short, it took me just a few days to adapt to -18C, but several years to adapt to 35C. |

A mixture of both, because my tastes have changed a few times. I like warmth all year round nowadays, but I don't want a Singapore type of oppressive heat. I'm also becoming intolerant of cool weather, and I mean like 9C type of cool, where lows linger in the 0-5s C (and I actually didn't mind those a few years ago and had a thing for frosty mornings).

Definitely made, as my parents are not heat lovers (but born in sweltering Singapore)
