Didn't realize that 20C/0C would win.

Remember that in late evening, you'd get to see temps around 3C-6C.

A day like this isn't cold at all! From 10 am to midnight, high was 61 F / 16 C and low was 49 F / 9 C. I was fast asleep through the sub-freezing morning temps. I wore shorts that day and it felt GOOD.

So the 20 C / 0 C (68 F / 32 F) would feel warmer, unless the 13 C / 7 C (55 / 42 F) was a day drop or hit its high early, with the 42 coming at 11:59 pm.

I voted the 13C option as that's when most people are likely to be out! If you happen to work a job that requires you to report during the nightshift, you will probably choose the opposite answer to what I chose!

Second one. Neither is really all that cold but the second one is less warm. 32 F in the sunshine is hardly cold to me. Maybe when it first happens in autumn but yea. With a high of 68 its very toasty. Honestly that seems very possible to happen here in fall and even spring. Any day here that reaches almost 70 degrees is NOT a cold one. Highs matter more than lows as you experience the high for a longer period. We're mostly asleep during the lows.

In this country 20/0 feels warmer, happens in Spring and is sunnier and drier than 13/7

13/7 can happen on damp, drizzly overcast winter days

It’s the difference between shorts and long trousers, IMO.

It depends a lot on daylength, but generally 20/0 is a lot warmer than 13/7.

13/7 is better for plants. 20/0 is better for humans (who have a home).
