Interesting. Can relate having spent most of my life on a southern coast. One summer my parents shipped me to my uncle in Denver for a few weeks. One day we dropped by an air show. It's summer and it's hot (mid 90s or so) but you can't feel it. People passing out was common enough it had an announcement.
Cut to later that day and we are up in the mountains and I'm walking through a snow bank with the same T-shirt and shorts from earlier, perfectly comfortable.
So yeah if it's dry you can wear about anything… when it's humid nothing seems to work be it hot or cold. If we are gonna change the climate here are my notes: I'd like 65-68degF and let's say 45% RH. All day everyday. Make it so!
I've found out that I can tolerate humidity a lot more when it's actually hot vs it being cool and humid. When it's hot and humid you're sweating constantly but don't feel sticky because you're covered in sweat. If it's cool and humid you just feel sticky all over because you're not sweating, so everything just sticks together. I first noticed this when I went out to Denver and didn't feel gross waking up. I further reinforced it when I went down to Southern Florida this summer where it's stupid hot and humid outside, but inside it was cool and I woke up feeling fine, since everything down there is built for the heat and humidity.
