I'm not sure that people downvoting you have been around northerners much. Down here in the upper midwest US, we tend to consider 4 or 5C to be shorts weather in the spring. I've a friend who would wear flip flops / sandals outside down to roughly -10C.

Then again, most people aren't getting the equivalent of 15 minutes of index 7 UVB exposure at those temperatures, so it's not quite the same thing, but still.


People are downvoting because it has nothing to do with the comment they're replying to or the original post. Most people are well aware temperature is relative too, I live in the American South and there are certainly people here who will wear shorts in cold or freezing weather too.
> Winter times can be effectively impossible because you can't sunbathe at 10 below
