You could never handle my 95f with dews over 76f. You would be begging for temps colder that 60f.

I can handle them, I just don't like them. I was in Yuma last August when at 8am, it was 90°F with a dewpoint of 77°F. Again, I can handle it, I just don't like it

I watch old news reels of people from 50 to 60 years ago and they are at ball games in July wearing wool suits. How they hell did they do it?

Then the cold condition is -5F with wind speeds of 7 mph making the wind chill -19F at 7 to 8 AM with the sun rising at the end of the hour. You have to be in business attire, but can cover up as much as you want, with gloves and a hat.

Basically an hour long walk to the office and a walk from the office. Both under partly cloudy conditions with no precip.
Is this hypothetical or do I need to expand on the reasons why "walkable" cities aren't a desirable option for all?

I don't really like anything over 80°F. But I would rather it be 95°F, then even 30°F. Sub freezing temperatures are unacceptable to me.

Under these conditions I'll begrudgingly go with -5F (-15C)...

I'm very sensitive to extreme humid heat.

I have never really understood why people think that having the sun burn their bare skin is somehow going to keep them cooler.

Learn how to do it from the experts.
