heat intolerance
Can't handle warmth
Heat intolerance is difficulty regulating body temperature or discomfort in warm environments that most people find tolerable.
It's often a symptom of underlying conditions—thyroid disorders, multiple sclerosis, or medication side effects—rather than simply disliking hot weather: Her heat intolerance worsened after the diagnosis.
The opposite is cold intolerance.
