The body has to work harder when the weather is hot.
Many Irish people can’t cope with heat because their bodies are adapted to a cold, wet climate, a leading neuroscientist has said.
Scientists have raised concerns this could be the planet's hottest year on record and neuroscientist Dean Burnett said it was because the bodies of many people in northern Europe are not used to heat.“Humans originally came from Africa and they would have had all the adaptations for an African climate and when they went further and further afield, they slowly changed in response to the colder, wetter climate that we ‘enjoy’ these days.
“When you move, that produces more heat which normally isn’t a problem in a cold climate but when it’s hot outside, it does take its toll.People queuing for ice cream from an ice cream van on the beach at Portmarnock in Dublin, Ireland
