When I’m in the shower, my body can acclimate to hot water in a matter of mins. But when I’m outside and the temperature is hot, my body starts to sweat and I become uncomfortable no matter how long I’m expose to the heat. Why?
In: Biology
The water moves off your body and isn’t in constant contact with you. Your body is still in contact with the air in the shower, so the heat transfer while sharp is pretty less.
Air on the other hand is conducting heat transfer practically all over your surface area
If you were to submerge yourself in a steaming hot bath tub with an oxygen supply, you would have to come up pretty fast
