Thing is, I can always put on more clothing if I'm feeling cold. But I can't take off more than I'm wearing when it's too hot! XD
That's true. Though while you're inside, or in the car one is usually in an air conditioned environment. Though if one lived in a country where it didn't usually get hot enough to own an air conditioner and you had a prolonged heat wave you'd probably end up suffering quite a bit.
Every now and again we get news on the media over here of countries on the other side of the world where old people are dying of the heat. The temperatures given are to us not all that high, but again it's what you are acclimatised to.
Believe it or not there are many people in Perth, where our summer temperature can be over 40c for days and days on end, who don't live in an air conditioned house.
