Assuming there is no precipitation, what is the lowest temperature that you consider "warm enough" to eat outside?
Would 15C (59F) be too cold, for example?
-40° C or F (same thing) would be fine if you had a 0 mph wind.
Wind speed would be the determining factor for me. I worked inside a 28-40°F unfinished house on Monday and was fine in a t-shirt (working, not standing still!), a little bit of chill in the air but I chalked it up as ski season conditioning. Outside with 52° and a storm blowing in required a hoodie and a beanie.
(If you're wondering why the inside of the house was so much colder, that's because even with framing and siding up, there's no insulation, no drywall, and no furnace going in that stage of construction. The cold air pools in the house at whatever the lowest temperature of the night was and then simply never gets warmed up by the sun).
I have eaten outside (once) at -40 (either F or C .. same thing) in the Yukon. It was a bit on the chilly side - -39F would have been better but it was a sunny, calm day. Don't use metal utensils at that temperature though or you will be very sorry!
That is a bit extreme but my father used to take us winter camping a lot - so eating outside at well below 0F was not an uncommon event in my early life.
Wait, exactly what do you mean with "eating outside"?
If you mean to eat a sandwich and to drink something hot from a thermos while wearing a jacket, hat and scarf, I can also resist at temperatures close to 0°C (32 °F). I actually did it a couple of times during school trips on the mountains, the last time last May when me and my university mates went in a place at 2000 m (6560 ft) of altitude for taking some soil samples, and it was snowing (wet snow) and it was windy too. Luckily we found a roof and so we managed to eat in a relatively dry place, but it was still terrible.
Evidently for me it would not be the ideal situation at all. Usually when I say "I eat outdoor" I mean that I have my lunch/dinner at the table in our garden, or that I am at a restaurant with an outdoor area. In both cases I would like to eat real food from a dish with fork and knife (possibly when it is still warm), while sitting at a table and without having to wear countless layers of clothes for avoiding the cold etc... In practice, I would like to eat as I do indoor but outdoor. So in this case the ideal temperature would be in the range of temperatures that I like for indoor spaces, which is between 20 and 25°C (68-77°F).
Actually, I'm more used to eat outdoor during the summer than in the rest of the year. And we look for an outdoor place for eating because the indoor temperature is too high (do you know that we don't use much the A/C in our houses, right?). So, for example, when it is July and I have 28°C (82.4°F) in my bedroom I can decide that it would be better to have dinner outdoor in our garden, where the temperature at evening is a couple of degrees lower and there is some breeze.
