Definitely true, my buddy came back from basic training in Georgia and he was home for i think a week before we went to like the Canadian border lol he was in a ski jacket in his house and it was October so it was like low 60's at night here in MA. We were all in shorts and t shirts and he had his ski jacket and pants.

Your body sure can adapt to a lot... (Well mine could when I was younger )

When I went from the 90-100 and 50%+ in the gulf coast to Tehran, Iran where it was 110 and 5%, My skin looked like the grand canyon it cracked so much !
Until I started generating some oils, I used lotions all the time to stop elbows and knees from cracking - and I was in my 20's !!!

Met a guy over there that worked on the oil rigs in the Persian gulf and when he came to Tehran every two or three weeks, it would b over 100 and he would wear heavy coats cuz he was freezing after the 125+ degrees and 100% humidity of the gulf !

Came back to the gulf coast after working a few years over there and I was a GREASE ball for a month or so, took 2 or 3 baths a day until my body acclimated !

I'm convinced your blood thickens and thins based on the climate you are used to...

Right now the ambient temperature is 87°, with 64% humidity, the heat index is 107°, and it is overcast today with a 6 to 10 MPH wind. It's actually cooler today than yesterday.
