Whats your comfortable temperature range for driving with the windows open.

Keep in mind that you will not be wearing a sweater or jacket while doing this.

My range is 56-81 F (13-27 C). Above 81 F (27 C) and the wind does not help me cool down and below 56 F (13 C) with 40-50 mph wind feels a bit nippy without a jacket. This is encompassing all 4 seasons.

I love driving with the windows & sunroof open along the Jersey shore in late May Just after exams finish.

My Range is Between 64 and 84 Degrees. Below 64 is bit chilly and anything above 84 and we roll up the windows and turn on the a/c.

I'll make this easier.

My windows stay closed when temps are below 20F/-6C.
Sometimes I like blasting the heat with the windows open when temps are 20-35F.
Today no heat and windows were down. 45-50F


Nothing like doing 60mph with the windows open when temps outside are 30F/-1C. The Wind chill in the car gets awesome.

Its quite warm today and I drove with my windows open. In the mid 50's over here. But I was wearing a sweatshirt, so it does not count.

Don't you have AC? Why have the windows open at all?

My reply is maybe 21C or so.

Dude, you don't know how enjoyable it is to drive with the refreshing air hitting your face. It feels amazing. I yearn for those days in late September with highs in the upper 60's-low 70's F when driving with the windows down just feels fantastic. Additionally, cool yet comfortable overnight lows in the 50's are perfect for a romantic ride along the shore. Driving under climate control is boring especially when its nice out.

100°F. Well, once. Driving back from the beach. Easy way to dry off!
