41 C, 25% humidity and I feel cold

[Muggi1968]

Maybe I am just strange.......

This year I fell cold even in 41 C with 25% in humidity.

Is it normal that the body can adjust to the high Thai temperatures ??

I know the low humidity makes it easy to sweat...

Anybody experience this ??

Turn the AC off and go outside. You'll warm up.

_{Have you had your thyroid function checked?}

If you feel cold at 41c regardless of humidity there may be something more than a weather issue - as said get it checked.

As for sweating - you do that with high or low humidity - with low humidity you do not notice and can easily not be aware you are sweating and not drink enough to replace it. At high humidity it is sweat in your eyes and much more uncomfortable.

Yes you do get used to a higher temperature - I am comfortable at 30c if not doing more than hitting computer keys. But 41c would appear abnormal to me.

41C is just hot! Maybe you have a thyroid condition.

Maybe have Malaria. It can take up to 1 year before the effects are seen

Hi -

Hyperthyroidism is possible, with typical signs including thinning hair, dry skin and fatigue.

Low iron is more common. Try eating spinach and taking iron supplements. Easy to 'self test'.

There are many other possibilities though so get a physical.

If you are already dead, that could explain it too.

Be careful with heat stroke.

Avoid taking iron supplements unless a doctor advises you to. There can be serious side effects.

Really great point. It is not uncommon that people can feel cold with heat exhaustion. Since the context is the heat:

1. Heat cramps

2. Heat exhaustion (likely feels cold)

3. Next comes heat stroke (feels hot)

As usual, I would follow Sheryl's suggestion.
