Many people who have grown up in cold or temperate climates & relocate to the tropics as adults find themselves dripping with sweat, while longtime locals barely cut a sheen. But you can be sure that people who seem impressively cool & collected, and, more specifically, dry, in hot weather are still most definitely sweating. It‘s just that they are doing so very efficiently. ⬇️
Lindy (Continued) Their sweat rate is keyed to release exactly enough perspiration for optimal cooling evaporation. 2y
batsy I've lived in a hot climate all my life and have never stopped sweating, sadly #InefficientSweatRate 😆 2y

Lindy @batsy Ha! I would say too bad for you, except sweating is a good thing, even if your body isn‘t perspiring at peak efficiency: we would die if we didn‘t have a way to cool our body. Some animals poop or vomit on themselves to cool off… sweat glands are preferable, right? 😉 2y
batsy @Lindy When you put it that way ... I'm all for sweat glands 😂 2y
CarolynM What about shivering? That photo (while it‘s always nice to see your lovely face) is enough to set me off🤣🥶❄️ 2y
Lindy @CarolynM Ha! Well, I didn‘t happen to have a photo of me looking hot and sweaty (although I have felt that way much of this unusually warm summer). But since I grew up and live in a normally cold climate, I‘m an example of a person who sweats a lot in the tropics. When I spent 4 months in Sri Lanka, I just had to accept that I would be damp from sweat all the time. 2y
