I know what you mean about not being used to chill. (I have a friend who retired from Juneau to Palm Springs, California a few years ago and he says that if it is "only" 80F, they don't go in the pool- it is too chilly. lol)

It helps me to remember, and thus feel less guilty, that it is an actual matter of thinner/thicker blood. I used to be able to tolerate more heat than I can now.

And in Alaska, temperatures are odd. Scientists have an explanation for our discomfort when it heats up. Thusly, as I understand it: our sun up here is never directly overhead and in late afternoon it is low enough that it hits our bodies lower in the torso so we heat up all over.

Even tourists in Juneau often complain about the heat.
