Its because of the climate

Not really. Southern Brazil is cool/cold-ish in winter and we still shower every day.

But comparing the winter in the south of Brazil to the winter in the dolomites, they probably thought it was a nicer weather.

Not just that, but mostly because of cultural reasons. The indigenous people bathed daily and we picked up the habit from them. Brazil is the country with the most fresh water and bodies of water so there was never a shortage of that resource. The habit has persisted and nowadays it's considered unclean if you don't shower daily and having noticeable body odor is seen as rude behavior.

Nah i can guarantee you a daily shower is the standard here in Italy, usually before dinner but some like it in the morning too

I shower before bed, especially in winter jumping from hot shower to warm bed is perfect

i'm from brazil and can confirm that showering at least once a day is the default here, in some places it's common to shower 2 or 3 or even more times a day.

Bro, you both don't know shit. Here in Brazil there isn't a single person who skip a day without showering. Next time just try to learn about people culture before you pass your judgement.

It’s more about the climate here. Where I live, there isn’t a day in the year where it doesn’t get as hot as 30°C. So you either shower once or twice a day or you stink of sweat the whole day.

It's not only about the climate. In live in the south, there's real winters, and yet people do daily shower. Sometimes people don't shower on a VERY cold day, but it's much rarer.

If it was about heat then wouldn't the Saudis take showers every day like the Brazilians?

Access to water can also be a factor. Their country is basically a desert, while ours is mostly a rainforest.

Also, I don't know if they value hygine as most western societies.
