My wife & I live in New England where it gets somewhat chilly sometimes. My mother in law is from Mexico, and finds anything under about 80 F (26 C) to be a bit chilly. I tend to wear shorts/t-shirt until it gets below 60, sometimes a bit lower, even into the mid 40s if I'm not outside for a long time/moving around (~5-15 C). My mother in law will wear layers when it is 70 out (~21 C). In the 60s, she is freezing and wearing a lot of layers. She prefers not to visit when it gets much below 60 around here, which is about half the year. I can't even imagine what she would need to wear in 40 degree (5 C), let alone 10 degree (-12 C) weather.
Like going to Florida in February...it is easy to pick out us tourists, where the ones in the shorts and short sleeves while the natives are in coats and sweaters
3° in London, UK. But its quite windy, so the wind chill is the killer. Cant wait for it to go full snowy/icey. My knees loves slippery surfaces
Yep. I live in the Sonoran Desert, which extends well into Mexico. For 4 months straight, June-Sept, the high temperature is almost always above 100F. The low temperature will be somewhere in the 80s. And then you have two months before and after where the high temperature is moving through the 90s and the 80s. Halloween Day here, the high temperature is usually mid-80s, and the low about 65 F. So that's 8 months out of 12 where my dead-of-the-night low temperature is someone else's peak-of-the-day high temperature. Today, on the verge of Thanksgiving, the expected temperature is 78F high/50F low. So, ya, New England is chilly!
wrap up warm and take care! It sounds like a good reason to stay inside with the family and eat lots of food
Coldest Thanksgiving since 1871.... it is supposed to be a balmy 9 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning with a wind-chill below zero... and I have to go pick the oldest up at the train station in the morning....because he overslept today and missed his train Well...in honor of an early winter
What is this Fahrenheit thing of which you speak? What’s wrong with using Centigrade like the rest of the civilised world? Mind you, I expect we’ll be back to using Fahrenheit in the UK after Brexit
Celsius is just plain wrong.....if it were right, we'd use it in the USA When I was in Elementary school, way back in the stone-age, we had to learn the metric system because we were going to change to it like the rest of the world...but the change never came
LOL, that second part is funny. I'd be very happy to drop inches and feet and yards and miles in exchange for the metric system, but I prefer our temperature scale because the F degrees are smaller (180 of them between freezing and boiling instead of 100), making our measurements of temperature more accurate than yours.
I moved to London from Perth, Western Australia and I swear, by no real science, that the respective temperatures are actually different between the hemispheres. In Perth a low might be 8 or 9 Celsius in the morning, but it's a desert vacuum 8 or 9. You might warm up under the sun during the day but the air itself...it's like there's nothing between you and the cold void of space. It's different. It totally is.
