The thought of 36°F makes me feel like shivering. Let us not talk of such things. After a month or two of hot weather, the idea of cold seems unimaginable and anything not warm feels like a shock, unless I am (or just have been) exercising.
A month or two of hot weather makes me dream of 36 F.
I'm hoping for a good old-fashioned week long heat wave with temperatures above 90F and high humidity this summer.
Used to happen at least a couple times each summer when I was growing up in the Syracuse, NY area. Now, heat waves lasting more than three days are very rare.
Definitely cooler now than it was in the 1980s and 1990s. Lack of sunspots?
I can feel beads form, occaisionally, but I must not make as much, since my clothing never appears wet without a sustained, fast heart rate from excersize, or being pressed up against something... even if it's 98 F outside with 50% humidity. I definitely sweat more, or start to sweat as the heat index reaches 100 F, but still never enough to make clothes "wet-appearing" from the outside. (thru the cloth )
I've had the reverse;
being cold outside and not noticing exactly how cold (core-wise) and then coming inside I get waves of strong shivers.
It's like it takes room-temp air to show me how cold I am.
I tried batting practice once at 36 F and bare hands, with a wooden bat and hardball.
My first (and only, lol) hit, it felt like I broke every bone in my hands.
Pitched to my friend and he felt the same way I did... so we gave up and went inside to play Nintendo.
I don't think I'd want to play baseball below 50 F without thick gloves, or at all.
Whenever it is cold and windy (being mid 40s or less) or just cold itself, my legs start to feel cold with pants or shorts (it doesn't matter but I don't make myself look stupid in winter), my hands get cold unless I leave them jammed in any pockets I have, and it takes a while for them to warm up. If we have winter time weather for a long time I stop shivering at all unless it is windy (it is after fronts here). And it can be in the mid 30s to mid 40s as a high, not a low.
The first time I made a snowball since I was a little kid (7) was this year. I tried that with my bare hands the first time. That was stupid.

That is in my comfort zone. If its not between 60 and 90, I start feeling pretty uncomfortable unless I'm used to winter or summer temps and may still be uncomfortable if its close to 90. Stronger tolerance for winter temps.
This summer so far has sucked in temps, however thanks to it, we had a pretty insane thunderstorm line set up that just sat there for a couple hours. It was horizontal, and it just sat on I-20 until it died. It got to me just barely.
Vancouver, BC. Our average high in July-August is 70F, average low is 56F.
Ah right. I heard the summers in the PNW of the U.S. and PSW of Canada are beautiful. Of course it's a matter of opinion, but an average high of 70 F sounds perfect.
