And the other way around.
I once went to a conference, held in early spring, at a Greek hotel. It was 15 C and the hotel staff had closed the pool as it was "too cold" to swim.
Us Brits were puzzled. The Finns were utterly baffled.
- arethuza 1y agoHere in Scotland, the first sunny day in spring over 10C and you start seeing people in t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops...
- lazide 1y agoMichigan, anywhere 0C and above is shorts and a t-shirt weather after a long winter!
- quickthrowman 1y agoIf the pool is heated, swimming in 15C weather would be fine. If not, I wouldn’t swim in 15C water without spending time in a sauna or hot tub before jumping in; surfers wear wetsuits when the water is that temperature.
