Heat acclimatization for indoor rides

I have been getting heat acclimatization credit for indoor rides. Surely that isn't right. Is there some setting I have wrong?

Edge 530 on 5.50.

Thanks!

Why should you not get heat acclimatization on an indoor ride? Provided the heat and humility are higher enough to cause adaption it should not mater where you are.

How do you think the heat and especially humidity is measured in my house? Garmin uses weather forecast data, not sensors on the device. This is a bug or there is some setting I have wrong.

Actually the temperature comes from the Edge it just the humidity that comes from the phone.

Doing some research before posting is always recommended.

"Compatible devices¹ provide acclimation notifications and corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the outside temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF). Temperature readings for this are based on the weather data from your connected smartphone rather than sensors in your Garmin device."

Let me re-check.
