I'd like to feel comfortable in shorts and t-shirt: neither sweating nor feeling chilly. Basically, just slightly warmer than your typical "indoor" temperature.
That's my ideal summer weather in the evening, say after sunset to midnight.
*When the daytime highs are like that, it doesn't take long before it starts to cool enough that my fingers and toes get discomfort.
If it's like that at midnight, I can be blissfully-ignorant of the weather pretty much all day.

My hands and feet are fine but my upper arms start to feel uncomfortable in cool breeze when wearing short sleeves.

On rare occaisions that might happen to me,
but 99% of the time, my fingertips and toes are the first to go,
while the rest of me might follow suit shortly afterwards.
Yeah, regarding temps, I totally agree with you;
long sleeves should be left to fashion, rather than function...24/7 and all summer long.
How many hours with a risk of t-storms though?
I wouldn't mind 1-2 days with t-storms and a risk of maybe 4 hours per t-storm day would be pleasant.
the more hours of storms per day, the merrier.
Here's an appropriate analogy.....When compared to the omnipresent stratocrapulus Melbourne is so famous for, being in a storm is like being a kid in a candy store, as opposed to going to school

Reality in southern Ontario,
risk of t-storms usually last more than 12 hours per "stormy day;" quite irritating usually.
does that mean that nice juicy cumulus towers and thunderheads are taking up residence 12 hours per day?

Oookkaayyy...
Suit yourself, but this is why I occaisionally drool over "semi-arid" climates.
Being in a storm, versus in a storm watch?
about 2-20% of the time the storm watch is on you might actually see a storm.
(10-16 storm hour watch, storms totalling 5-80 minutes?)
It's hard to see what the whole sky looks like; you can't see the horizon in the city.
Plus I'm in a "hollow" so the sky kind of has a "fishbowl" shape to it in my neighbourhood.
(it'd probably be a lot more interesting on a farm )
Probably not...
A typical t-storm day has clouds just like the ugly, dark, dry overcast days at least half the hours of a "storm watch,"
but they tend to thicken from time to time.
I'd guess that 25% of the time, (storm watch) they look quite ominous,
5% of the time they look quite frightening
and 0.5% of the time they might look "apocalyptic"
Warm and humid but not super hot. Maybe one heat wave for a week or 2. You should be able to wear shorts and t-shirts comfortably in the early morning and the evening. I do not like having to wear long sleeves in the summer. An occasional cloudy day or thunderstorm to prevent things from getting too hot. Nights should be warm with just a touch of sticky-ness. Perfect weather for fireworks, peanuts, and Phillies baseball.
PA has good summer weather in my opinion... warm enough to feel like summer but not Texas-like by any means. Philly is a bit hotter while Pittsburgh is a bit cooler but both are pretty nice.
