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.

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.

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.
