Sunny Some wind
Totally depends on what you’re comfortable with. I personally will wear shorts down to around 40°F (4.5°C).
Shorts are tge default at around 18C, and absolutely necessary at 25C+.
In Australia that might be considered a bit cold for shorts, but definitely within acceptable range.
It’s long pants 100% of the time for me. The difference in temperature between shorts and long pants has always seemed negligible to me; but the sensation of wind hitting my leg hairs feels like I’m standing on an ant colony.
Other than swim trunks, I don’t even own a pair of shorts.
If you’re a math teacher there is no minimum temperature required for wearing shorts.
Depends on the humidity, and projected weather for the rest of the day
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.”
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.
for me 15°C and up is shorts weather
Isn’t the ideal shorting temperature actually a range of temperatures?
No, it’s exactly 21.00⁰C. It’s like a bell curve. Once you go above or below that, it’s back to pants.
Or it becomes more appropriate to get even nakeder
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
Depends on wind conditions
And if it’s raining.
In which direction? Because if it’s somewhat warm but raining I’d be more likely to lean towards shorts since they’re easier to dry than long trousers.
You talking wet bulb or dry bulb bub?
Temperature doesn’t matter as much as wind.
