That reminds me of advice given to OHs colleagues when they were working in the Arctic. If they needed to pee, they were to put on all their gear and go to the main building. In no circumstances were they to nip out and do it against the Cabin or else a certain appendage would get frost bite and drop off. :-\ |

Having lived in Shetland, where the lowest temperature is pretty low - then include wind chill factor, in an old draughty croft house with an electric fire in the living room, and a kitchen extension that used to have ice on the inside - yes, but personally, not my preferred temperature!! |

Errrr no, I was in around 34c in Perth and about the same in Malta one year. The humidity was the killer :-( |

Ah, but could you handle minus 40 C? That's what it is here right now. Actual temp is minus 25 but wind chill makes it feel like minus 40. It's brisk! |

Maggie and DET, I agree about the humidity. |

Agrees with maggie. It's the humidity which is the problem. 50c might be a bit too far. |

I can cope with any heat, as long as it's dry. |

No I couldn't, 30 degrees is too hot for me, better when it's a dry heat but still not my thing :-D |
