It seems like a lot of Madisonians are huge wusses when it comes to cold, wearing thick coats, flannel shirts, etc. the second we have a high below 15 C. My thought was "maybe it has to do with how many people from India there are around here", but even the white people are like this. The lower 60s (~16 C) days are the funniest. You see a mix of everything, from tank tops and shorts to thick puffy coats. It truly is odd. Most Madisonians seem convinced they live in the high arctic, but they don't particularly like legitimate warmth/heat either. There's a very narrow range of temperatures that will satisfy most people, probably upper 50s to lower 70s (14-22 C). And of course, it has to be sunny. |

When it's between 0C and 5C, you can see people wearing a wide variety of clothes, from antarctic gear to t shirts and shorts. I remember one 0C evening when I saw a shirtless man walking out of a pub. |

People here can't handle legit heat, many turn on the A/C once it hits 80 (27C), it's ridiculous. |

I remember seeing a poll that showed that the average British person finds the summer average maximum temperature of about 24°C to be ideal. Makes sense given our climate. I'm trying to locate the source again.

Meanwhile, I dont turn mine until its well below 0C. |

I general yes, a lot of people here enjoy the climate. There is a vocal minority who hate summer (in particularly february) and another who hate especially wet winters/laggy winters. But in general, most can see that those trends will be temporary.

This corresponds to outdoor temps usually somewhat below 10°C. |

One day I went to a sleepover at my friends house, the outdoor temperature was around 8C or 9C and he kept the heating full blasting hot air. I had to go home earlier so I wouldnt die of a heatstroke there. |

But in the day if I'm doing computer work I want no less than 17°C indoors. I certainly don't need it warm (like over 20°C) in winter indoors though, that is a waste of heat and money IMO. |

I think it's a love-hate relationship among sydneysiders
