dumb guy question is the human body better at dealing with extreme heat or cold? let's assume they don't have a heater or AC due to a power outage but there is water

Consummate Professional posted:dumb guy question you can alway put more clothes on but there’s a limit to what you can take off that said you can die of exposure in surprisingly mild conditions if what you have is inappropriate. still, you can probably more easily get a bivy and or sleeping bag rated to extremely low temperatures but you’re kinda hosed I’d it gets too hot without active cooling

We are managing so far, with one ac in a room keeping it at 24 during peak heat. Of course our building is concrete and will radiate this for a while. Also fortunately I live just on the edge of this thing, loving BC looks like hell right now, shattering the all time high for the country 3 days in a row and also outpacing the highest temp for loving Las Vegas.

"Is it easier to survive extreme heat or cold" is kind of a silly question since you can watch David Attenborough narrate you through some 4k footage of the coldest conditions humans will ever encounter again whereas the hottest conditions humans are going to experience in the predictable future can only be inferred through fossil and geological evidence that amounts to "wow, sure weren't a lot of trilobytes left after this happened ha ha"

hobbesmaster posted:you can alway put more clothes on but there’s a limit to what you can take off For truly high & dry temps you're actually better off putting more clothes on. Many traditional cultures from desert environments wear pretty extensive clothing even at 110+F, for example bedouin dishdasha, etc. If the garment is nice and flowy, it stops the radiative heat and provides extra convective cooling by increasing air flow and evaporative surface area.

hobbesmaster posted:you can alway put more clothes on but there’s a limit to what you can take off Yeah if your not prepared cold weather, in places people actually live, (sometimes going down to -45C and lower) I think would kill you a lot quicker than warm places where people actually live (sometimes getting up to 45C temperatures and above). Lots of different factors though. Lower temperatures with no humidity and literally no wind are going to sap your body temperature much, much slower then if your laying on top of a pile of snow in -45C with gale force wind. Same with heat. 45C in the shade with a lot of wind, no humidity and a lot of water most people will be completly fine. Been in that situation myself quite a few times and honestly I find it pretty pleasant. 45C, high humidity, no water, walking about in direct sunlight though, yeah most people would need medical attention quite quickly. Still I think most people would do so much better in a 45C desert in street clothes then a -45C blizzard.

It's far easier to survive extreme cold than it is to survive extreme heat. The entirety of Texas saw like about 115 people die from the cold that was more than a week event while BC is just now reporting 230 deaths (and they've haven't really gotten to look around for more) for couple of days of heat. Pretty conclusive which is worse

Sure, that assumes very low humidity like in a desert of course. The Pacific Northwest heat wave is too humid for that stuff to work well.

Lacrosse posted:I barely survived; it was 115°F for over 10 hours at my house, and the inside of the house was 100°F at 75% humidity. I had a tiny window a/c that's broken af but was able to keep my 'cool' room at 89°F through the worst of it. If it weren't for that janky-rear end window unit, me and my two cats would've surely croaked in that heat. If you're getting output from your window unit, just not much, it may just need to be recharged with refrigerant. Even if there is a leak you'll get better performance for a while. You can take the cover off and see if you have a place to add refrigerant. If you do it's a cheap fix you can do yourself. Plenty of vids on YouTube for how to do it. E: if anyone out west needs help trying to get some ac systems working or working better, send me a PM. I'm in Iowa so I can't help directly, but I have a maintenance background and know enough to be able to trouble shoot and repair most issues that an ac unit could have. -Zydeco- has issued a correction as of 16:25 on Jun 30, 2021 |

Thanks a ton. Got a buddy coming over in a few days to help me troubleshoot it, once we get the panel off I'll see if there's a refill spot. The other issue is it leaks water down the cord and not out the back but my friend thinks we can fix it.

fun fact, a dew point of around body temp will kill you via drowning as water condenses out of the air onto your alveoli instead of the other way around. i can't imagine the body can survive that for very long at very low humidity and enough fluids to drink you can survive in pretty extraordinary heat. acclimated people hang out in 200F saunas for half an hour at a time. tbf if you're bundled up you can survive just fine at pretty incredibly low temps too

I had a few offers but I'm a stubborn bitch who refuses all help most of the time.
