“...prior to my move to Florida.”
I’m surprised you survived - what with the “sudden shock to your system” and all. I wonder if there is ANY truth to that, that folks get conditioned to certain temperatures and can die if exposed to more heat. I mean, that is what spring and fall is for isn’t it!
And I know if I travel and change climates, yes - it FEELS a lot different, but is it that much of a strain on your system? I guess the good thing about this study is we’ve got another 50 years to built more A/C units for folks.
(With summer temps over 95 degrees in Mpls. on a regular basis, everyone I knew had A/C anyway).
I lived most of my younger childhood, upto 9 grade, in North Dakota......which is tied for the 5th hotest recorded temperature in the US at 121 degrees F.
I can still handle cold, however, my wife, breed and born in Duluth, and having lived her whole life in Minnesota, became a complete freeze baby after her first summer in Florida.
She’s very thankful my work took her to Florida.
BTW, 27 states set their record during the 20’s and 30’s.
