What it feels like
Even in the same month, comfort often splits by “walking-heavy” versus “mostly indoors.”
When it tends to fit
- • If you’ll walk a lot and you’re sensitive to wind or rain, cooler/drier conditions tend to fit better.
- • For photo-and-walk trips, sunny days usually matter more than the exact temperature.
- • If you want to keep fatigue low (kids/family trips), avoiding peak midday heat helps.
When it may not fit
- • If you struggle with humid heat, some seasons can feel tiring even when the numbers look similar.
- • In rainier periods, “walking as planned” can be harder—tight itineraries may not fit well.
- • If you do many night outings, evening wind and chill can matter more than daytime highs.
What people usually wear
Not a single “correct outfit”—just common choices that cover most situations.
- • 🌡️ 5-10℃: Heat-tech + knit + mid-weight coat is enough for many days, but sea breeze can feel chilly, so scarf and gloves are nice to have.
- • 🌡️ 10-18℃: Sweatshirt or knit + light coat or windbreaker is a solid combo. Some days feel warm enough to carry your outerwear.
- • 🌡️ 18-25℃: Long-sleeve T-shirt or shirt with a light jacket is comfortable. Great weather for walking and cycling.
The same numbers can still feel different depending on how you travel.
