Does a warm climate make you feel better or worse?



So I'm currently in Jamaica. I've been here for 6 months now due to covid. I usually come as often as I can as I always feel good when I do, but this is the longest time I've spent here and also the best I've ever felt in terms of my sickle cell. Speaking with a few people however I'm learning that the hot climate actually makes some of us feel worse.
What is the case for you?

  1. I'm in montreal Canada.....where humidity is a major factor in the warm weather. If humidity is low, symptoms are comfortable.

    1. Both climate, I prefer mild

      1. , Thanks for joining in the conversation. Have you been able to live in the mild climate you prefer? All the best, kathy (Team member)

    2. I’m in Texas, the weather here is mostly warm which I prefer. You really have to watch your hydration, I carry water with me every water I go. Also I was issued a cpap machine not because I have sleep apnea but because my blood oxygen goes down at night. I have noticed that I have fewer crisis. God has blessed me to be here for 65 years and counting. 🙏🏿

      1. Warmer climates definitely makes me feel better and not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. I moved all the way to Arizona from Detroit. I loved the four seasons there but it kept me stagnant! Since moving here, I’ve established some independence and as I look back, I grieve because I wanted it to work out in my home state but it never seemed to get there but I am happy and grateful for who far I’ve come. I still get crisis but I can overcome it much more easily than before. Thank God✨💜🌷
