What is ideal weather like where you are from?

Scattered clouds, 15°C and intermittent light breeze is the perfect weather. Not hot enough to sweat when walking, not cold enough to need a jacket, just perfect.

It's also a good weather because you can wear a light jacket if you want to, especially if you're out til night and it starts getting chilly for the few hours the sun is down.

Exactly. While there's something mildly pleasant about hot weather, working in it is sucks and it's only really good for going swimming.

But around 15°C is just the best. If you're inactive and outside, a jacket and trousers will keep you comfortably warm... if it's near freezing you need an entire elaborate set of clothes to feel comfortable being out there and if it's >22°C doing anything more strenuous than walking will lead to sweating a lot.

It took a 35°C heatwave for me to understand what sweatbands are for. The only good thing about summer is that working outside and sweating like a horse is the perfect excuse to keep drinking cold beer to replace lost calories, water and electrolytes. Also the beer tastes much better then. I barely drink any in winter myself..
