Heat Acclimation working principle

Or it is not working at all because of some bug?

Thanks in advance.

I really wish Garmin made better use of their own Tempe sensors, especially for things like this. Yes, they might not always be 100% accurate if people position them badly (such as in direct sunlight), but that's down to the user to manage properly if they want to use heat acclimation. It would still be much better than Garmin's very vague weather data, and would also allow for micro-climates, such as exercising in a gym or garage where the temperature might bear no relationship to the outdoors.
