I understand that this will be skewed by where forumers live, but this was a shoutbox conversation that I feel is interesting enough to make into a thread. Do you consider 54°F/12.5°C (calm or light wind, no heavy wind) more winterlike or springlike?
I feel like 54-55°F is the borderline temperature for me. Spring to me is 54-55 to 74-75 - but I live in Portland.
Just to clarify, this thread is not specifically regarding a single day in Portland. The original question was actually 55°F, just dropped it to 54°F to bring it a little closer.
What is your lower limit on the definition of springlike temperatures, to add to the question?

more springlike, but it's cool enough getting that temperature doesn't feel completely out of place in winter like 10°F warmer would; I feel like 50°F would feel obviously a mild winter day, 54°F is getting more of a "spring in winter" feel

12°C is springlike unless you have lived in a warm climate permanently

12c is an early spring temperature, though it is common on mild winter days too.

In Rochester it’s more like a spring day.
In general, it’s neither or both as seasons aren’t defined by arbitrary temp thresholds.

Late April or early May high so definitely spring here.

Springlike, 54F is a normal high temperature in April. Anything over 40F is springlike even though 40 happens every winter. 40 is a normal March day. But it depends on where you live. 54F is winter in a tropical climate and summer in a polar climate.

Summer-like, in fact!
54° F is summer-like for us Snowy Mountaineers; thereby, none of the poll answers.

With clouds: Winter
With ensoleillement: Summer

Depends on which climate you're living in, in Tallahassee 54 F is winter-like, in Chicago it's spring-like, in Nunavut it's summer.
Overall, I'd say 54 F is spring/autumn-like.

On Turku standards 54F is definitely springlike, because it's warmer than the city's winter record high.

Winter like. 12/13C is still coat weather for me

Springlike imo although obviously a high of 54F here would be a cold winter day

Springlike imo although obviously a high of 54F here would be a cold winter day Why does it feel springlike, if it's a colder winter day? Because I’m judging objectively rather than subjectively. |

Because I’m judging objectively rather than subjectively. So objectively, a 12C day is more typical of spring than winter? Objectively 12C feels like a spring temperature to me. |

Objectively 12C feels like a spring temperature to me. so you're saying that 12C is typical spring weather? 12C would be a typical mid-late April low here so I guess so although that's irrelevant. Again if I lived in Miami and the question was "is 20C more winter or springlike" obviously I wouldn't choose winter. |

Anyone else know why a 12C day would objectively feel more like a spring day, to a person that would only see days with those temperatures, during winter? There's two ways of looking at it; in a relative sense and in an overall (objective) sense. Also, depends on if you're talking about a 54 F low, a 54 F high, or a 54 F mean. Here, 54 F average high would be mid-March, 54 F mean would be mid-April, 54 F low would be mid-late May. So either way you spin it, it's a spring-like temperature here. |

Objective is rather meaningless here. |
