65F is too warm for jackets in February

I'm grilling a fat *** ribeye with a local IPA. To Hell with jackets...think I'm good for the season. See ya in October!

Ha, 60's here every night. Perfect LHB weather.

65 degrees F is a nice winter's day here, though by July/August we'll get down to 53 during the day and in the 32-35 range at night. That's prime leather jacket weather for me!

52 or below is the minimal to need a light jacket

65+ is too hot for jackets, especially on a sunny day

 

[Seb Lucas]

I'd wear a jacket at 65 degrees, especially if the wind is up. But it all depends on the humidity. 65 is fairly cool.

I'm with Seb on this.
We're just coming off the hottest summer since records were started some 150+ years ago.
I'm so freaking over summer.
I've been staring at my jackets trying to remember what it was like when it was cool enough to wear them......

Another +1 for Seb. 65F or 18C is when in break out my jackets, otherwise I'd never get to wear them lol

I'm with you too Dan, the cooler weather can't get here fast enough, the crazy thing is apparently they had 5cm of snow at Perisher in the last day or so.....wth is going on?

 

[Seb Lucas]

You're right, Dan. And that's funny, Prote. I was just staring at my jackets wondering if I dreamed wearing them. It seems so long ago.

When people here tell me they like this ultra-warm February weather (yesterday: 80 F.!), I say, "Yeah, but it's 40 degrees too warm for this time of year. What if that 40 overage carried over into summer? Would you want 130 F. as a normal thing?"

They look at me blankly.

As for me, I've brought a lightweight windbreaker to work today -- we're supposed to see rain this afternoon and evening -- and a felt Knox OR clone. And I'll probably be too hot even with that.

Took my dog for a walk in the park today. I wore shorts and a T-shirt; he wore a fur coat. We both overheated. Benzadmiral is right. It needs to be 40 degrees cooler.

Yep, my father tells me how he loves warmer Winters, as he's getting on in years and aches from the cold. I always remind him that he won't be too happy when it's Death Valley temperatures all summer long.
