Do u prefer Hot or Cold?
I am always puzzled when I read news articles on Heatwave killing millions of people especially in European ctys like France in 2003, at only a mere 36 degrees whereas in Singapore its pretty common everyday thing to have 30-36 degrees. So why is this such a danger? Could it be the abundance of air conditioning we have on this small isle that protects us from a widespread killing spree, afterall we only have a mere 4 million pple living on the isle.
Recalling a discussion sometime back with my friends back in sweden, we were analysing which is a worse way to die, on the streets during icy winters or to die in a heatwave? We concluded that if its during winters, you probably get so cold that you just fade into sleep and then you just freeze to death, whereas you can't sleep that comfortably under immense heat.....So there you go

the result is the same: you die. and i don't think i would fancy either of the two deatsh for myself, freezing 2 death or dying of heat.
I think the heat waves for people who are used to moving into non airconditioned environments and especially not city environments makes respiration really hard, ie. for older parts of the population. (and btw extreme airconditioning hurts the environment and results to overspending of energy :P). I would also assume that the problem with heat starts with temperatures that are higher than our body temperature? (does this make any sense) but it seems logical to me in some mysterious way.
we are expecting a heatwave in GR tomorrow and on friday, temperatures expected to rise to 40 degrees...
