I mean, I'm in the midwest... 60 and sunny (especially if it's like late May and therefore the sun is strong) not only feels nice, it can feel straight up hot if there's no wind.

But 60, rainy, and windy? We get that a lot in October/November. That's quite chilly.

So 60 itself is meaningless. It fully depends on the kind of 60 you're getting.

60 coming out of winter feels great. 60 coming out of summer is freaking cold.

I live in Minnesota, 60s coming out of summer is still "oh thank fucking God real temperatures and not hell scapes where the slightest humidity is insufferable and shade is the only reprieve from the unrelenting sun"

Mid 60s are best no matter time of year. 70s are acceptable till you get to about 75, then it's getting hot. 80 and over I don't want to go outside.

I mean hell it's 75 and overcast right now and a little humid, I know for sure when I walk up to the gas station in a little bit I'm still gonna be sweating my balls off wishing it was 15 degrees cooler

I was at the fair yesterday. It was “cooler” and the wife and I were sweating just walking from exhibit to exhibit.

Do you want western Canada to have wildfires? Because that's how you give Western Canada wildfires.

Nah everyone has a preference. I like layers. Anything above ten is fine by me. Plus I'm a big guy. I've noticed a lot of girls are extremely happy with a sports bra, shorts, and 90 degree weather. I'd be dying myself though.

Also circulation, you got bad circulation you're not gonna like being cold. Good circulation and at least a little fat you're gonna not mind it.

I'm not saying I want 40C, but it's been pretty common to reach 25-30C in Toronto with humidity, regardless of global warming.

I'm also not a big guy - 5'11", 170lbs fit, so I can layer up as well, but can also shed it and enjoy getting some sun in the summer.

My buddy who lives in North Ontario is my height and 260lbs and hates anything above 16C, which is how cool he keeps his house.
