In countries like Japan where the climate is hot and humid in summer and dry
cold in winter they have another "comfort" indicator that is a mixture of
temperature and humidity. The good zone being just enough of each. I found
dry cold much more acceptable than the natives.

Strangely enough in Japan you could buy dry cold (aka solid CO2) lumps
in supermarkets to enable you to get icecream and frozen fish home.
