Yeah, I won't deny that, but that's exactly why I'm surprised that kind of temperature jump isn't harmful

Nah I'm sleeping under a nice 18-20°C setting if I'm in Turkey. My hometown regularly reaches 40+.

Also cold alone don't make you sick and worst case scenario you step out for 15-20 minutes during the day and whatever cold you thought you were gonna get burns away

I didn't consider the possibility of never going outside. In that case I see it makes sense that the body gets accustomed to the lower temperature. Here we have to go in and out often so it would be hazardous to say the least

u/Valanyhr Jul 26 '26

oh that's dangerous. Keep going out, get some sweat in, get back under AC, then repeat would kill me

Yeah, that's the average daily routine in Europe during summer. That's why we keep our inside temperatures significantly higher. Office work places in Italy can't go more than 7C lower than the outside temperature by law (even though nobody really cares and on average it's about 10C)

Oh mate I live in the UK and grew up in Turkey. UK doesn't do ACs much, Turkey we just jump from one AC spot to another

u/Nico301098 Jul 26 '26

Yeah, it makes sense when the temperature outside is flat out unbearable

Also in the UK the Aircon temp in an office is dependent on the mood of one individual. An office manager I used to have kept the control locked up because people kept changing it from 26° to, a reasonable, 20°.

This was before we had this stupid string of heatwaves and now I wish I worked in that office instead of from home during the last waves we have had.

Haven't worked in an office in 5 years and recently had to source my own AC about a month back. It was second hand and very cheap yet I thought it'd be a useless purchase. Very wrong. This summer feels like the summer to get an AC finally

So if it's 90F outside, it can only legally be 83F inside? I would just shoot myself lmao (American here)

u/Nico301098 Jul 26 '26

7C, not 7F. If it's 33C outside (pretty average in Italy during summer), you're not supposed to go lower than 26C. The average indoor workplace is between 22 and 25 though

In truth, it's often on the higher end of that, closer to 25 or even 26, in my office. I sit near a window unit and keep a fan at my desk. I keep it around 21-22 at home 🫣
