Yep, it has felt much cooler than usual. May was cold, June was (just about but still cold) average and this month so far, 2 days has recorded maximums under 14 degrees.
I go to work wearing gloves, scarf, 2 pairs of socks, hoodie and jacket. That awful icy westerly makes it much worse in that I all but want to carry the heater with me. In a S-SE airflow all is fine
We have a saying here (joke). How can we tell those who come from the UK? They're wearing summer attire whereas us locals wear winter woolies

That sounds about right lol, I would NEVER dress up like that for a springlike high of 14C and sunny skies! I burst out laughing just imagining it! Presumably at your latitude you can at least feel some strength in the sun in midwinter, right? Those temps and sun angle sound like a mild day in mid-March for me, and apart from old ladies nobody would be wearing winter woolies. That sounds like how I'd dress on a day with a high of 0C or so, except I don't own a scarf. There's a mildly interesting article on the Aussie winter from a British perspective here: BBC News - Australia's winter denial
I don't understand how some of my fellow Brits seem to be just invincible to the cold. I am shivering without a coat below 15°C or thereabouts, unless it is very calm, humid and sunny.
I've been to Newcastle in the winter and I genuinely did get strange looks for wearing a thick coat (because I was going to Norway the next day, proper cold) so everything said in that article actually is accurate about the city!
I love the cold but I also love the heat, I can defiantly find myself living somewhere in which doesn't have much of a winter, can do anything whenever (not being trapped by snow), wake up feeling warm, big one for me playing sports in idea conditions.

I thought you like cold?
Or you like dressing warm?
I was wearing a singlet (tank top) shorts and thongs (sandals) last Saturday to catch some sun.
It was 16 C/61 F for the high with clear skies.
Most people were in long sleeves.
But the wind was light and I feel a lot more infrared-radiation here than back home.
The sun made it feel more like 26 C/78 F to my bare skin.
Mid-winter, yet we're still reaching UV of 3 on a clear day.

Yeah I've seen the odd bloke here too with no shirt on in winter.
Seems Novocastrians are just like that and don't feel the cold - in both hemispheres!
I dress for the weather/temps but younger people in NE Wisc. wear less for the 50's, especially in late Mar./April after our 3-4 mos. of winter. I don't layer, wear real heavy stuff until we get the 20's!
I see people in Lake Michigan when air temps are in the high 60's, and trust me Lake Michigan is not warm (using the term warm very loosely) until August.
I'd be fine in a long-sleeve shirt or sweatshirt if it was 14 C. If the sun was out, even a sweatshirt may be a bit much (depending on if I'm driving or doing physical activity). If there's a thaw in the middle of winter, I could walk around in a t-shirt in 14 C temps.
