Wonderful article. But you think about these things more than I do. I make little effort to overcome the weather and the climate. What can I do anyway? It just is and I manage.
Bodies can be a little odd. Being nude in cool temperatures is invigorating. In warm temperatures it's pleasant. There is a threshold at either end beyond which it isn't so nice without artificial aids or something. The lower the temperature, the more you have to work to keep warm. At the other end, you have to slow down to keep from being exhausted. You may not be cool but you can avoid being exhausted.
Cold weather won't arrive here for at least two months. Ah, but we're officially surrounded by 95 degrees and 42% humidity (not bad). I still get out for a two-mile walk in the woods every day, if I'm not doing something like mowing the lawn. It isn't too bad at 8:30 in the morning. Even so, the sweat is dripping off me by the time I start back. The trick, I have decided, to keep from becoming exhausted is to not go so fast that you have to breath through your mouth. That means you have to walk slower, of course. But by keeping your mouth shut (always good advice), I'm sure you lose less water, you mouth doesn't get dry and you also avoid insects flying into your mouth. But that's just my opinion based solely on my own experience (not experiments).
It's supposed to be no higher than about 80 degrees for the next few days. I'll probably want a sweater.
All of the above, by the way, is based on actually wearing clothes. They're soaked when I get home. I can't say what the results might be were I naked, which I can't be here at home. Curiously, my feet and socks stay dry, even with wading a creek, provided I don't fall in.
