Sunny Some wind
If you’re a math teacher there is no minimum temperature required for wearing shorts.
And flip flops too
San Francisco - “needs to be at least 75, because the temp is going to drop dramatically in 2 hours”
Minneapolis - “it’s above 40f. Time for a t-shirt and shorts.”
San Diego, either “shorts all the time” or “what are shorts?” I’m in the “what are shorts,” camp.
A long time ago, I lived in Maryland and a woman moved in with me from … I forget where, actually, but the west coast. I remember when she first got there we were out on my balcony and she was shivering in a sweater and sweatpants, while I was very comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt.
Acclimatization is real.
Really comes down to personal preference, as well as humidity.
In spring, as soon as we hit upper 50’s I’m wearing shorts.
I don’t wear shorts if the daily maximum is going to be below 30°C. Way too cold with shorts.
Depends on wind conditions
You talking wet bulb or dry bulb bub?
for me 15°C and up is shorts weather
Ideal? No. Reasonable? Yes.
21C is a bit chilly for me. Not chilly enough that I need to rug up, but enough that I notice the cool tinge to the air
In Australia that might be considered a bit cold for shorts, but definitely within acceptable range.
It depends on you, of course. You won’t freeze though, especially if you are walking around.
More like 27, but that depends on how fast you are
As an ex-overweight I couldn’t believe how much colder the world got when I lost the surplus
That’s way too cold for shorts
Too hot for pants!
Temperature doesn’t matter as much as wind.
Depends on how windy it is
I’m one of those wackos that wear shorts 365. Including cold Winters. I’ll even shovel snow in shorts as long as my feet are toasty.
I don’t blame you. I’m hypersensitive to heat (Covid fucked up my internal thermostat). Even 15C can be too warm. I’d rather be cold than warm in any shape or form.
A lot easier to add layers for warmth than it is to cool down.
And shoveling snow certainly can be a strenuous activity. People can definitely over heat from being bundled up.
