79F isn’t even “you need to mitigate this” weather. It’s cold, and only if you do things that would be dangerous at even colder temperatures does it hypothetically become a problem. You can give yourself heatstroke while standing knee deep in snow if you try hard enough, that doesn’t mean freezing temperatures are dangerously high.
Reminds me of the texan suburbanites who threw a fit about how they “cOuLd HaVe DiEd” when their houses’ smart thermostats adjusted from 65 to 68. Anyone and any place that expects the temperature to be kept at frigid “you need a warm blanket and you’ll still be cold” temperatures is deeply unserious.
Your air conditioned room has no humidity and isn’t in direct sunlight. This is why I brought up wet bulb temperatures! That’s why I keep pointing out radiation in addition to convection! And you’re just sitting around in your room and probably dressed comfortably! All of that adds up and you’re just ignoring all of it.
And I’ve already explained that “twenty degrees below body temperature” is cool, and “but what if there are also a ton of extra, additional things on top of that like open flames and parkas and heavy exercise and no water and still air and also it’s underwater and also the water is boiling and and and and…” doesn’t change that, because those are additional, other things that are bad in and of themselves and would be a problem if it were 30 degrees below body temperature or 40 degrees below body temperature.
There is absolutely no case in which a temperature below 80F can be considered hot, and “it doesn’t do enough on its own to mitigate these other extra, additional environmental hazards that are unrelated to it” doesn’t change that.
I work in a factory in Iowa, anything above 70 and I sweat tons because I’m doing physical labor in a humid environment. Yes, if I don’t dress appropriately and have fans pointed at me and drink lots of water (which I do!), I could get very sick.

Ok let’s not over exaggerate lol. 79F is not cold weather lol. It’s not even chilly.
That just opens you up to mocking from the other direction.
It is below the temperature of my air conditioned room.
That says stuff about you, not 79F
It’s literally required in leases here in Florida that you keep it at 78 or below to avoid mold growth

I’d love to see you have this conversation with someone who works in like road construction or something.
I worked in street markets in Egypt in +100 degree temperatures. Do I get to make fun of frail Angloids?
