Where do you live, and what do you consider to be the most comfortable outdoor temperature?

Question

I'm in Calgary, and I like it when it is 20 degrees in the summer, and around 0 in winter.

Answer 1

Comfort outside depends on 4 things: temperature, shade, humidity and wind.

If there is no wind and the sun is out and the humidity is low, you can sun bathe when the air temperature is below freezing. People in the research stations in Antarctica take advantage of that all the time in summer.

You say you like 20 deg (you are talking centigrade - might have to specify that for all our USA friends). Well, 20C can feel cold if there is cloud and a wind blowing. On a still, humid day it can feel hot.

Then 38 C in the desert is far more comfortable than 38C in Singapore.

30 C is comfortable in the shade, but uncomfortable if you have to be in the sun.

What about the worst temperature. Try Bahrain in the later summer, when the Persian Gulf is still hot from mid summer temperatures, but the wind disappears and humid air creeps in off the sea. 40 deg there is hell. I flew from Bahrain in that weather and found tropical Sri Lanka quite refreshing in comparison.

Then again, London when it is 2 deg with driving rain. 2 deg and wet feels much colder than -2 and snow, because snow is dry and doesn't suck heat out of you.

I live in Wisconsin, United States. I love the fall when the temp is around 16 degrees C in the fall.

Answer 6

I've been to Calgary in May and October and it snowed both times...lol...(not the entire time, though)

I'm in Texas now.. but Albuquerque, NM had really nice weather with dry heat in the summer and cool nights, even in August, as long as you stayed up by the Mts.... (Rockies... same as yours..just lower.........eh!)

*memories of Radium Hot Springs with rain coming down... have them around Albuquerque, too!

Answer 7

that's basically each week and October is an iffy month, can bypass the two way, chilly or warm, in many situations warm/heat interior the South; notwithstanding, in case you reside everywhere on the jap seaboard, hurricane climate, according to probability re-evaluate. human beings can gown properly for the climate for ceremony, won't final that long, only ask your self the place you're having reception. don't be afraid, no person is acquainted with what the climate is going to do, you basically could bypass with it.

Answer 8

I could live with Sunny and 60F. Unfortunately I live in Oklahoma where the temp is around 100F+ in summer. I love it here but it is very hot. The rest of the year is ideal.

Answer 9

montana, here in "magic city" the summers get as high as 100 degrees farnhight, and the winters get below - 10

Answer 10

I live in mumbai, India.
As it is on the coast, it is quite humid, so I like the temperature to be pretty low although you do not experience extremes of temperature here.
