If I know it’s gonna be like 18+ later on, I’m wearing shorts in anticipation. I assume it would be same for dresses and such.
In any case, I bring a jumper. As long as my torso is warm I’m fine. My legs don’t really get cold.

Beautiful afternoon. But what baffles me is how many people are in shorts or dresses. When my day started it was a chilly 12c so jeans it was. Do people just freeze for half the day for the 1 hour of nice weather, or do they carry around a change of clothes for when the sun comes out. I’ve lived in Melbourne all my life and still can’t figure it out.

Am jealous. I run on the cool side, my feeling of warm starts at 23+ and hot at 30+. One day I’ll move to a warmer climate. Maybe for retirement.

My idea of pleasant starts at 18, warm at 23, hot at 26 and OMG I’m going to die of heat exhaustion starts at about 28.

That’s really interesting, I’d say pleasant/lovely is -2 to 7, I hate 8 to 18 as it’s like a tease and I despise it, 19 to 22 is kinda alright, 23 to 30 is lovely, 31 to 35 is hot, and 36 to 40+ is brutal.

growing up is was dress for the warm day and it didn’t matter if we were cold in the morning
it might actually be a good thing to experience all the different temps ( within reason ) rather than live in permanent and unnatural 22°

I have a feeling that as a kid spring /summer/autumn had more warm days in the past, but I guess is am imagining it because climate records say otherwise. Maybe I’ve pushed the cooler days out of my mind because they weren’t as fun. I don’t think it’s unnatural to be permanently in a warmer climate, that’s where we evolved. We overcame it by inventing clothes.

I remember walking on spring frosts and frozen puddles and ponds on the way to school

I can’t really help as I’m menopausal: hot when it’s cold and cold when it’s hot. Also spending most of my working life in kitchens has messed up my body thermostat. I find I wear things like long shorts over leggings and short sleeved t-shirts over long sleeved ones and with my trusty light-but-just-warm-enough crappy hoodie, I’m ready for anything! 🫡👩🏻🍳🥔
