Cool implies comfortably cold. Chilly implies very cold. So chilly.

I agree.
Cool to me (and not to Canadian Meteorologists  ) implies pleasant weather, possibly erring to a slight chill on the comfort scale. So short sleeves would be fine, perhaps a sweater at most.
Chilly is "probably not comfortable," depending on what you are doing.
Chilly implies to me that most people would want at least a jacket.
***Canadian Meteorologists are crazy; ( ) they'll say in early December that when we're already say 35 F (or 1 C), a front will move through bringing us some COOOOL weather (spoken stressed or accented) pushing our highs down to 28 F or 25 F (-2 C to -4 C). Sometimes it is also spoken with a look of worry or concern on their face.
Any overnight low above 13 F (-11 C or higher) is fair game for a Canadian Meteorologist do describe an overall "Cool" weather pattern.
However they are in no way meaning "comfort" when they say "Cool." I really don't know what they mean.  |
