Nice Weather?

United States
May 13, 2007 12:57pm CST
Ths sun is shining today. The sky is clear and blue. But, the wind is a bit on the chilly side. My husband's idea of a warm day differs from what I consider warm. If the wind weren't so cold, yes it would be a warm day. He dresses in shorts and a short sleeved shirt. I am in long pants, short sleeved shirt and a sweater. He keeps commenting on how I should be outside enjoying the sunny day. I do pop out occasionally, but once I get chilled, I am back inside. I don't tolerate chilly weather as well as he does. For me, a perfect day (weather wise) is one that is 70-75 F (20-23 C) degrees, drifting clouds in the sky. An occasional light breeze is okay. No humidity of course. What is the description of the perfect weather to spend a day outdoors?

Gee, am I going to take a razzing! I love the beauty of nature. I love the spring and it's newly awakening perfection. I love the summer and the aspect of the fire heating the earth, the children (and adults) enjoying barbecues and pools. I love the muscular bodies with the glint of sweat showing them off. I love the changing colors of the fall, the new season symbolizing the need for rest and repose. I love the icy cold of the winter. The vision of snow blanketing over all the dirt and mud that once was. Now, back to your original question...which do I prefer to be out in - NONE! I love the comfort of my home where I can enjoy all of the seasons sitting at my computer and looking out the door, or sitting in the bay windows of my living room. ~donna

I tend to stay indoors in the colder months. Once warm weather is upon us, I am usually found in my garden. Of course, I am in the screen house so the bugs won't eat me alive!

The weather here is absolutely gorgeous as it is sunny and very pleasant with the temperature being 68 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a perfect day for a walk or a day at the park. There is a nice breeze as well which feels really nice, especially after it being so humid the last few days. It is always nice to be able to open the windows in my home to let the cool air in. I think the perfect weather is a sunny day with a slight breeze and with the temperatures anywhere from 70 - 80 degrees with little or no humidity.

It is about 60 here today. It would be warmer if the dang wind would stop. You and I agree on the perfect weather conditions. Humidity is rough.

It's miserable weather here on the North East Coast of England! It's been raining all day, plus it's pretty nippy out too, and a little windy. Not nice at all! Only a lunatic or someone with their heating on full blast would be wearing a t-shirt and shorts today! I wouldn't want to have spent the day outdoors today!

I like it a little warmer than you do. Once it starts climbing above 80 with the sun shining, and no breeze, it's swimming pool time. How are you? carole

The perfect weather for me would be between 65 and 75 degrees. A sunny day with some clouds. A slight breeze. That way you can lay back on a blanket with your child and try and figure out what the shape of the clouds look like. Great quailty time making the kids use their imagination.

You can send me a duplicate of your kind of day anytime. Actually, in my yard, with the amount of shade I have, high 80's is not bad at all. I can handle the outside much cooler as well.

I think you have almost described it but I would like it a few degrees warmer. I would like it like this because we have a huge outdoor pool in our complex and I love to swim in it. So that temperature, would keep it warmer.

I agree- I was a bit chilly over the weekend- the prior week spoiled me- It was high 80’s in NY and then the weekend was high 60’s low 70’s but it was pretty windy. I still was outside most of the days enjoying it- Warm to me is anything with no Snow! : ) I like it to be around 75- not too hot- not too cold. It was great when the sun was out beating on us over the weekend—then the wind didn’t seem so chilly- I still got another sunburn on my face! I got to stop at grab some sunscreen already!

The sun was out today, but it was a little chilly with the wind. Not bad, but I would prefer a little more warmth. I had to wear a sweatshirt to keep warm, and then when I was in the car driving I got too warm.

my favourite weather is sunny with cool breeze. temperature 16 to 25 degrees celsius. the one in which you wouldn't sweat if you're not on exercise.

We're back into a "cold spell" here. Brrrrr. I even turned the heat back on after a few days of open windows and sunshine. It's somewhat sunny but definitely not warm! LOL But that's spring in Erie, PA!

It has been so hot here in Texas already and it is only May. We have been in the 90s and humid. It has not been fun to deal with lately.

My perfect day is nearly always in spring. Perhaps slightly warmer thaan what you like, around 25 to 27C. I just love spring, & do a lot more gardening at that tiome of the year. From a psychological point of view, spring is also good for me. Autumn can be quite reasonable too. Today, for instance, it is 23C. A little cloudy. I am wearing jeans & a short sleeves shirt, with nothing on my feet.

I'm with you. A perfect day is when it's sunny and warm, not burningly hot or debilitating, with as you say a blue sky with the occasional cloud and a light breeze. I also love mornings at this time of year. It can be chilly but I love it when the sun is rising and the air is crisp and refreshing.

I envy you at the moment hun, here in the UK it is cold, wet, windy, grey and depressing. While sitting here shivering in mid-May and I dreaming of a warm sunny beach somewhere. The sea is blue and warm enough to swim, the temperature is around 80F and only a light breeze

the weather here is really great if you're planning to go to hit the beach. its really hot, perfect for taking a dip in the pool or the ocean. its normal to see people in shorts, tank tops and sandals. its about 33-37 degrees celsius today.
