IT'S ONLY ABOUT 76˚F HERE WHY THE HELL AM I SO HOT
IT'S ALSO AIR CONDITIONEDdonavannj;bt90539 said:Humidity and intensity of the sunlight?
Also some people very easily if there's even a slight change to external temperatures from what they woke up in.
BUT I AM SITTING DOWNCurious.;bt90552 said:Perspiration (sweating, transpiration, or diaphoresis) is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.[1] Two types of sweat glands can be found in humans: Eccrine glands and apocrine glands. The eccrine sweat glands are distributed over much of the body.
In humans, sweating is primarily a means of thermoregulation which is achieved by the water-rich secretion of the eccrine glands. Maximum sweat rates of an adult can be up to 2-4 liters per hour or 10-14 liters per day (10-15 g/min•m²)[2][3][4] Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the evaporation of water. Hence, in hot weather, or when the individual's muscles heat up due to exertion, more sweat is produced. Animals with few sweat glands, such as dogs, accomplish similar temperature regulation results by panting, which evaporates water from the moist lining of the oral cavity and pharynx. Primates and horses have armpits that sweat like those of humans. Although sweating is found in a wide variety of mammals,[5][6] relatively few, such as humans and horses, produce large amounts of sweat in order to cool down.[7]
A study has discovered that men, on average, start perspiring much more quickly than women, then twice as much when they are in the middle of exercising at the same relative intensity.[8] When men and women exercise at the same absolute intensity there are no differences in sweating responses.
So they say, but Wikipedia's text is licenced under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Granted, though, there are conditions for redistribution.BlahISuck;bt90558 said:@Curious
