How do people in developing countries reallocate time in response to extreme temperatures? Using individual-level panel data over two decades and relying on plausibly exogenous variation in weather, we estimate responses in China. Extreme temperatures reduce time spent working, and there is no evidence of offsetting substitution across either time or spouses. Work reductions are larger for farmers and women. Hot days reduce time spent on household chores by women, but not by men. Finally, hot days greatly reduce time spent on childcare in households without cooling technologies.
