Definitely! Do you at least take one of your three shirts off when it gets into the upper teens?
Might I suggest wearing a t-shirt and a polar fleece rather than three long-sleeved shirts? You can then easily remove a layer if it warms up enough and it isn't bulky and uncomfortable.
Do you find that your level of dress is similar to the locals? Apparently you can tell who the locals are on the Gold Coast since they're the only ones wearing long sleeves!

You can tell the locals here, and this is just on the outskirts of Newie in the Lower Hunter - they have no shirt on once it gets over about 22C!
Hence, that is just about the whole of summer, and sometimes even in winter.
Worst place I ever saw for this was in the Rockingham-Mandurah area of WA, just south of Perth. That, along with no shoes on - so their feet are obviously impervious to being burned on the hot pavement.
The Gold Coast is similarly renowned for bogans, but they seem to put clothes on.

No,
they were long sleeve tees, under a button up workshirt.
It would have been a hassle to undress.
I actually had the heat going full blast most of the time,
in the morning on a long 45 minute drive to a customer's site.
It must have been in the 20's C or higher inside
as the sun poking through the windows made for a "smoldering" feeling.
(yet no sweat )
It actually wasn't that bad in the day... or maybe I just really like being warm
There were some people at work wearing beanies midday under their hats.
Thick jumpers and vests too on some people.
Others just their work shirt and long pants.
Kids in SW Oz?!?
I saw them walking to school,
most of them in short sleeves and/or shorts.
Car thermometer read 10.5 -11.5 C (51-53 F) at 7:30am
but it was sunny with sunshine at about a 15-20 degree angle already.
Still... Brrr!!!
Maybe Aussie kids try to be tough about the cold,
or they knew they wouldn't be outside for very long???
