"Observing life unfold in a sea of affection and regret, she remains immersed"
Rewritten Article:
Sitting in the stifling heat of the car, the woman casts a furtive glance at the man beside her, engrossed in the film screening at the stadium. The sweltering temperature has her questioning if it's the summer heat or the mounting pressure that's making the cab feel like a sauna. Or maybe it's the pregnancy, a fact she's now officially accepted.
With the air conditioning broken for months, it seems winter was her only respite from the relentless heat. The AC issue, a simple fix that had been on her perpetual to-do list, between "renew passport" and "buy E14 LED light bulb", would've been dealt with, had it not been a matter of preference over urgency. Now, the vehicle's cabin is nothing short of a fast-food kitchen trapped in a heatwave.
Yet, the man by her side remains untouched, not a bead of sweat spoiling his handsome face. Is it the fabricated heat, the fear of conversation, or the pregnancy that's making her sweat? A quick Google search reveals that while a woman's body temp can increase during pregnancy, it's not enough to heat up the car cabin significantly[1].
Instead, the heat can be traced back to the malfunctioning AC system. A car without a working AC can quickly become a furnace, especially in sunny conditions[2]. The emotional states like procrastination, fear, or the impulse to remain silent are unlikely to change the car's internal temperature[3].
So, the unbearable heat sweeping through the car is mostly a consequence of the broken AC, not her bodily or psychological changes due to the pregnancy or the fear of confronting the man. The blazing heat might be disconcerting, but at least now she knows the root cause.

- Despite the heat within the car causing discomfort, a quick search reveals that a pregnant woman's body temperature increase isn't significant enough to heat up the car cabin significantly.
- The real cause of the intense heat can be traced back to the malfunctioning air conditioning system, as it can turn a car into a furnace, especially in sunny conditions.
- Procrastination, fear, or the desire to remain silent are unlikely to impact the car's internal temperature and contribute to the sweltering heat experienced inside the vehicle.
- The changes happening inside a woman’s body during pregnancy, such as hormonal fluctuations, do not seem to be the main reason for the car's unbearable heat.
- The unbearable heat might be disconcerting, but knowing the root cause—the broken AC—offers a step towards finding a solution, potentially through renewing the system or seeking professional help.
