This is why cold is better. You can easily beat the cold with more layers. Can’t beat the heat though.
The low temperature threshold seems extremely low – a day with a high of 21 degrees isn’t an indoor day?
Should be: Highs < 50F or Highs > 100F
It is silly to consider 25 degrees an outdoor day but not 96 degrees.
Jesus southeast Alaska would require a new scale. Also reaffirms that Florida would never be for me.
It’s definitely different for each person. My “indoor day” would be < 40 F, > 80 F.
It seems the lower limit for temperature is a bit extreme. A day where the high is 20°F is pretty brutal.
Call me crazy, but I consider anything sub 40, or above 80 indoor days. If you don’t think 85 is hot, go cut your lawn in it.
I would put the indoor only high higher that 20 degrees… I do not want to hang out very long outside if it’s below 45. that should be the cut off for cold weather days. 95 is a good cut off at the high end.
Define wind > 25mph – just daily max gust?
Why is a dew point over 68 bad? Maybe over 80.
That’s when people say “I moved to Florida for the good weather” I asked: “What good weather?”
This is one of many reasons people pay more to live in LA and SF.
Those little red dots in Colorado are called powder days.
Maybe I do not understand this graphic. I spent way more time outdoors in Florida than in New England. Maybe the point should not be “outdoors”?
I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life, right at the center of that red belt, it fucking sucks here. 85+ degrees with high humidity for most of the year, even having a picnic or something in the shade sucks.
Funny. When I lived in Florida, every day was an indoor day, except maybe a few days in “winter.”
I sure do enjoy little mountain towns for the quick altitude adjustment, whenever needed for an outdoor day. ⛰️🏔️
High of 21 is not an outdoor day lmao. Y’all in the northeast are insane.
Feels weird to have an exact cutoff for the high and low temperatures when region plays such a large role in what’s considered comfortable.
Someone from the south could consider 100 degrees fine weather to be outside in, but 25 degrees to be indoor weather. As a Wisconsinite, 19 degrees is a nice warm winter day and I would be taking advantage of the nice weather by being outside but 94 degrees is stay indoors weather.
Please ignore New Mexico. The weather may be awesome. But that’s our secret.
The issue with calling all days with 85% chance of precipitation “indoor days” is that rolling summer showers in places like Florida are normal but usually last no more than 30 minutes.
This is dumb. The only thing keeping me inside is rain and snow. Sunny days you wanna be outside. Who made this dumb chart?
If you like to see an interactive map of number of comfortable days, then visit https://myperfectweather.com/. It lets you set limits of daily max temperatures, dew point and cloud cover.
idk, I’m only outdoors between 50F-82F, this information is for insane people. 20F is below freezing and 95F is fucking sweltering …
Are the map makers afraid that they will melt like the wicked witch of the west if they go outside in the rain?
This would be dope as a website, where you can change the inputs, as this seems to be very subjective.
This is a really cool idea, poorly executed.
As everyone else has said, the upper and lower bounds are ridiculous.
I also do not at all believe New York gets that few rainy days a year.
I have lived in Philadelphia and Houston.
40° – 95°.
This is why coastal Southern California is goated. There’s like 10 total days per year that the high is outside of 50-85, very few biting bugs, and moderate humidity
Would love to see Canada with the cold standards lol
What I get from all the complaints is that the graph should be interactive and let you pick your own temperatures at least.
My friends in Louisiana get seasonal affective disorder during the summer because they’re trapped indoors for 4 months.
