I'm cold intolerant so I'd wear something like this. It's Tokyo back in January. It's about 2 am so the temperature is about 3c although since this is the subway station, it's about 25c.
Short sleeves at 4°C during the day? In Italy no one would walk in the streets without pullover and heavy jacket. 90% of people would add scarf, hat and gloves. So I think you're cold tolerant.
4 °C doesn't feel cold (at least to me). Breathing is amazing at that temperature, and there is an awesome coolish feeling on the skin! It feels warm in the spring and cool in the autumn/fall, so it's always a pleasant temperature for me (even though I like 10 °C temperatures more).
Temperatures below -15 °C feel horrible to me, so I guess I'm not that tolerant.

Its all relative to what you are used to. We had a very cold winter here in the far north central United States along the Canadian border and 40 degrees not uncommon for me to wear shorts with a light coat. It would all depend though on wind and how long outside. If a 30 mph wind then 40 deg would need a jacket.
But I live in a cold climate where below 0C occurs for about 4 months...so above 0C days once spring arrives is welcome by most.

4 °C (40 °F) feels a lot warmer than like -20 °C (-4 °F). It doesn't even feel "biting", so why not use light clothing? of course, if the wind is blowing, the not at all.
I don't know that much of clothing vocabulary, but let's just say if it's below 0 °F (-17.8 °C) I cover all my exposed skin and I'm not comfortable being outside at all. From 0 °F to 10 °F is not that bad, but still I cover my exposed skin. If it's higher than 10 °F (-12.2 °C) then sometimes I don't cover my face, especially if it's not windy. If it's higher than 20 °F (-6.7 °C) I usually don't cover my face but I still put a winter hat and gloves. If it's higher than 30 °F (-1.1 °C) sometimes I don't even wear any gloves or hats, but I usually do. If it's higher than 40 °F (+4.4 °C) then I usually wear short-sleeves shirts and not gloves or hats. Do you think I'm tolerant to cold?
I think you're very normal and almost identical to me, but I don't wear any hats or gloves until the temperature dips below about 14°F(-10°C).
Today I was outside at 10C, and my hands went purple and numb. I usually always wear gloves up to 10C.
Was there a strong wind? usually my hands won't suffer unless it's below freezing.
