That also happens when I open up VGC but that never stopped me. I never understood the problem with cold weather. I mean sure, it's not pleasant but it's not like you have to endure it for hours. It's a slight inconvenience for a few minutes. It doesn't matter if it's 0° or -40°, cold is cold. That's why you go into warm places. In summer there is no escape unless you're one of the few people who own proper air conditioning. But air conditioning isn't nearly everywhere while warm places in the cold are.

Cold doesn't make you sweat and stinky.
Cold doesn't give you cancer.
Cold doesn't make your head dizzy.
Cold is easily solved by putting on more clothes.

People who break down just because they have to stand in the cold for a few seconds are weird.

BTW I live in a country where 99% of all households don't have air conditioning.

Heat doesn't make you cough and sneeze all the time. It does for people with allergies. 

Heat doesn't give you cancer either, does it? Isn't that the UV radiation in light? Considering you can get sunburnt just as badly, if not worse, in some very cold places that's certainly not a heat exclusive thing. People don't really go outside near-naked to lay outside in side in cold weather.

Neither does heat? I've not really heard of that before. I have heard of heat stroke, but isn't that only like for really old people. It's called dehydration and it affects anyone who doesn't drink enough water. 

Heat is easily solved by putting on less clothes. A person can only take off so much clothes before they are arrested unless they are an attractive woman.

Sure hot weather isn't perfect by a long shot, but it beats cold weather at least! And if 99% of households don't have air conditioning... well then that's just 99% of households that are potential buyers of air conditioning! It only beats cold weather in the sense that women are more inclined to wear less in hot weather. 

I'll leave this here for ya.  https://joshmitteldorf.scienceblog.com/2013/02/25/cold-temperature-and-life-span-its-not-about-the-rate-of-living/

"When cold-blooded animals are exposed to a cold environment, their metabolisms slow and they live longer. When warm-blooded animals are exposed to a cold environment, their metabolisms speed up (to maintain body temperature) and they live longer. In a new study from University of Michigan, both responses are traced to a common genetic mechanism that senses the temperature and signals a slower rate of aging. This adds to a mountain of evidence that animals life spans are fixed by genetic choice, and not by any kind of passive physical deterioration."
