We all seek sun if we're feeling cold and seek shade when we're feeling hot. What temperature range is that sweet spot where you can hang out in both situations in short sleeves? Let's say at a company picnic, BBQ, outdoor concert, or ceremony.

With no wind I would say:

T<13c/55F - After a while I start to feel a bit cold in the shade
T>19c/66F - After a while I start to feel a bit hot in the sun.

Therefore my optimal range is 14c - 18c (upper fifties & lower sixties).

Probably anywhere from 55-65F, but that's kind of a loaded question for me because I burn easily. If the sun is directly on my skin, I'm not comfortable for very long at any temperature.
