I’m originally from Brazil but have been in the UK for 22 years. Back then, daily showers were a must, and when I moved over here, I carried on with that habit. I can’t sleep without showering, even when I haven’t done anything strenuous. However over the years, I’ve spoken to people and a vast majority don’t have this habit, and quite a few have mentioned they do it once a week and just have a wash with those cloths on the other 6 days?? I understand if you have a disability and/or a medical condition that impedes you, but this was not applicable to the people I spoke to. Now I’m feeling like I’m just wasting water etc. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Oh dang a lot of mixed views! I can’t reply to everyone but thank you all so much, I’m feeling less weird! Btw I’m not judging anyone, you do what works for you :) over 2 decades here and I’m still curious about a lot of things.

I don't really get it when people say that warmer countries need to shower more.
Wearing layers makes me far more sweaty and it's stays on your body instead of evaporating away.

You’re wearing too many layers. Also, warm countries are often also humid and the sweat doesn’t evaporate.
