I hate both cold and hot weather though.

59F here in Fullerton right now and I just saw a woman wearing a down coat lined with fur with the hood on, gloves, scarf, and knit cap visible underneath the hood! Most others are wearing sweaters, hoodies or light jackets.

0 C isn't bad. 40 C is terrible.

A windless 0 °C is just freezing. Freezing is not cold.
40 °C is above your core temperature, therefore it's very dangerous to stay outside at that temperature, as opposed to the mild 0 °C which, if you dress correctly, is not bat at all.

0 °C, of course

Of course you don't need gloves nor jackets at 20 °C, that's an indoor temperature, wherein you can dress with light clothes. I think that's an exagerration just for the sake of joking, like my location, anyway 😂

O° C is ****ing freezing, I think I'll go with 40 ° C although it's a tad too hot for me (the ideal temperature for me is 30°C)

0 C. You can warm yourself up if you need to. But when you're hot, you can't do ****. You just have to sit there all hot and bothered and just suffer through it.

To me, 0 °C is nothing. Coat + gloves, and you're good to go. Now, -20 °C, THAT'S freezing. And 40 °C is boiling. So I'm voting for 0 °C.

Either way, looks like the OP won't have trouble staffing the booth due to weather concerns, as long as she has a cold-weather AND a hot-weather crew.

40ºC, since there's a shade, I have no trouble standing "pretty much" still, in a shaded dry 40ºC.
I can't deal with cold that easily, more than once I started shivering, yes shivering, in 16/18ºC weather here in my hometown's train station, when exposed to winds.
