Cold office tweets and outdoor temperature. The distribution of cold office tweets and average daily outdoor temperature (2 °C bin width) where the tweet was sent. (a) Distribution of tweets for women and men across the range of outdoor temperatures. There are more tweets from women at all temperatures. The median outdoor temperature is shown inset and is lower for men than women, indicating that a greater proportion of tweets from women are in warmer outdoor temperatures than men. (b) The proportion of tweets from balanced samples (repeated 100 times) of binned outdoor temperatures. The likelihood of women tweeting about cold discomfort increases with warmer temperatures. (c) Tweet distribution of men and women grouped by US Census region. Southern states had the most tweets, which likely reflects the excessive cooling of offices in part from the dehumidification requirements of those climates.
