At What Temperature do you start needing a jacket/ winter coat/feeling the chill? (warmest, world)

[MeteoMan]

7°C and with the damp chill and drizzle it felt like -2 so I was shivering in a hat, fleece and body warmer with a winter coat over the top.

6C without much rain or wind today, but definitely needed a jacket and a long-sleeved shirt underneath.

Exactly a clear day with bright sun and no wind can be nice at 50, Same temp cloudy and windy can be cold.

The hoods on my hoodies (which I always wear) go up if the temp is below maybe 72 degrees F (I am very prone to earaches). I get out the coat once the temp drops below maybe 55 F. It's not a heavy coat, though; more of a hooded, fleece-lined windbreaker. Boots and gloves follow soon after that, at maybe 45 F. And that's all I do all winter. As long as my head, hands, and feet are warm, I'm good to go!

I would say below 5c I wear my long coat or a heavy quilted jacket.

5-10c I can manage with a soft shell, with a hoodie under, but I can wear it below 0c if the weather is dry or If I'm going hiking and I'm going to sweat.

If it's very humid, I need to wear more clothing for the same temperature. Actually a lot of people in (northern) Italy wear down jackets because of the very high humidity in winter whereas the temperatures rarely go below -5c. When I see Italians abroad, i recognize them because of the (usually colored) down jackets.

I have several cotton jackets / windbreakers and a denim jacket That I wear in 10-20c weather or for cooler summer nights, but usually in the summer I keep a hoodie in my backpack just in case, although here summer nights usually stay warm enough to go out without any.
