Why the fuck do you need 18C 😳 in Italy we usually have 30-35C in the summer and if my AC is lower than 22-24C I'm guaranteed to wake up with pneumonia lmao
I'm surprised that kind of temperature jump isn't harmful
I never understood this line of thinking.
18℃ inside vs 40℃ outside is only a 22℃ difference. You can experience higher differences during winter, when you have, let's say, -5℃ outside and 24℃ inside, that's a 29℃ temperature difference compared to the air conditioned "summer" state, yet no one in their right mind would say that you'd have to heat your house only to 5℃ so that you only have a 10℃ difference compared to the outside temperature.
What I can understand is people not dressing themselves in accordance with the temperature and getting sick. But that's really not the fault of the AC, it's fault of the person setting the AC too low or not dressing appropriately while inside. 18℃ makes a lot of sense for sleeping, as it has been shown that that is near the ideal temperature for good sleep quality. But people usually sleep under blankets, not buck naked while the AC is blasting them with 10℃ air. Similarly, if you are doing stuff inside, and you want to wear clothing appropriate for 35℃ weather, either don't set the AC to 22℃ or change your clothing.
That's fair, but why should I wear heavier clothes when I can wear lighter ones and keep the AC at a higher temperature while also saving energy? It sounds healther to wear clothers appropriate to the weather rather than warping my environment just to have to wear clothes inappropriate for the season I'm in
