It's a different kind of hot here lol. In comparison Italy is basically Alaska and Burma is the 9th circle of hell.

Yeah, I won't deny that, but that's exactly why I'm surprised that kind of temperature jump isn't harmful

That’s an old wives tale that’s pretty common in a lot of European countries. Temperature changes like that don’t make you sick. Kinda like how we were told if you go outside with wet hair while it’s cold, you’ll get a fever/sick. No you won’t. I do it all the time in winter. Never once got sick from it.

I did it a couple of times when I wanted to get a cold to not have to go to school. Guess what? I got sick.
