This is why cold is better. You can easily beat the cold with more layers. Can’t beat the heat though.

The low temperature threshold seems extremely low – a day with a high of 21 degrees isn’t an indoor day?
wesblog on
Should be: Highs < 50F or Highs > 100F
It is silly to consider 25 degrees an outdoor day but not 96 degrees.

Jesus southeast Alaska would require a new scale. Also reaffirms that Florida would never be for me.
ThCuts on
It’s definitely different for each person. My „indoor day“ would be < 40 F, > 80 F.

It seems the lower limit for temperature is a bit extreme. A day where the high is 20°F is pretty brutal.
FandomMenace on
Call me crazy, but I consider anything sub 40, or above 80 indoor days. If you don’t think 85 is hot, go cut your lawn in it.
Substantial_Dish3492 on
This is correct for the Southwest for the record
Pruzter on
I would put the indoor only high higher that 20 degrees… I do not want to hang out very long outside if it’s below 45. that should be the cut off for cold weather days. 95 is a good cut off at the high end.
EmotionalBaby9423 on
Define wind > 25mph – just daily max gust?
blahyawnblah on
Again this is way off for central Oregon. We’ll have weeks where it’s less than 20 degrees.

I see a lot of these recently, OP could you tell us the source/how you did it so I can replicate with my own parameters?

Why is a dew point over 68 bad? Maybe over 80.

That’s when people say “I moved to Florida for the good weather” I asked: “What good weather?”
Boose-Driver on
I know people are saying the low is too low but most schools in my area will have outside time as long as the temperatures are above 20. That’s the rule and I thought it was a crazy rule coming from the West Coast

This is one of many reasons people pay more to live in LA and SF.

Hey NM looking pretty good for once. I do not miss being drenched in my own sweat after being outside for 10 minutes in south Florida.

Those little red dots in Colorado are called powder days.
paisleybison on
Maybe I do not understand this graphic. I spent way more time outdoors in Florida than in New England. Maybe the point should not be “outdoors”?
Esilai on
I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life, right at the center of that red belt, it fucking sucks here. 85+ degrees with high humidity for most of the year, even having a picnic or something in the shade sucks.
Advertiserman on
Northern Nevada is absolutely not 0-20. Some of the coldest temperatures in the United States have been recorded in this state.
joeyfine on
Look at Ohio. People poop on us for alot of things but our seasons rock.

Funny. When I lived in Florida, every day was an indoor day, except maybe a few days in “winter.”
mshuler on
I sure do enjoy little mountain towns for the quick altitude adjustment, whenever needed for an outdoor day. ⛰️🏔️
TheImpresario on
Really surprised to see Minnesota and that upper Midwest area as not as bad as like say Florida. They make their winters out to be apocalyptic and 6 months long.
dtp502 on
As someone who grew up in the Midwest and moved to Florida this makes me chuckle.
There are basically no days where I won’t go outside due to heat in Florida. Compared to 5 months of cold gloomy bullshit in the Midwest I’ll take a little sweat over that any day of the week.
Hell the summer highs in the Midwest get just as hot as it does in SW Florida.
TeeDee144 on
I feel like this does not tell the full story.
Like Seattle where I lived is in the 40-60 day range. Where I live now is in the 80-100 day range. But I am so much happier here. Seattle winters were so gloomy. 3-4 weeks with the sun never breaking through.
Posture_ta on
High of 21 is not an outdoor day lmao. Y’all in the northeast are insane.
therealtrajan on
Would this just be roughly an inverse of your outdoor day maps or are there certain places that have a unique combo of high indoor high outdoor or low both etc?
therealallpro on
As someone who grew up in the dark red area I can tell you this an odd criteria. I played outside literally everyday
peachdinosaurs on
This is why I love the Bay Area – I can be outdoors everyday. So many coworkers across the Texas and SE areas that spend had their year stuck in a/c all day.
GB-Pack on
Feels weird to have an exact cutoff for the high and low temperatures when region plays such a large role in what’s considered comfortable.
Someone from the south could consider 100 degrees fine weather to be outside in, but 25 degrees to be indoor weather. As a Wisconsinite, 19 degrees is a nice warm winter day and I would be taking advantage of the nice weather by being outside but 94 degrees is stay indoors weather.
AgentBroccoli on
This is WAY underselling the Pacific North West, should be purple (one color above red 140+). It can rain up there.
GrundleThief on
even as someone in the northeast a high of 21F is much less an “outdoor day” than a high of 96F
jules6815 on
Please ignore New Mexico. The weather may be awesome. But that’s our secret.
aes1999 on
i didn’t know Nevada was chill like that
Weaubleau on
Having Kansas City on the 60 to 80 indoor days is laughable, maybe 60 to 80 outdoor days seriously. Also any day above 20 for the high is an outdoor day? that’s not realistic for most people.
linkinzpark88 on
Northern IL is showing 60-80 indoor days. You spend the majority of the winter indoors and then the middle of the summer is hot and humid. If anything, these charts tell me to avoid the places with the least amount of indoor days.
Laan22 on
Thats -6,66°C to 35°C to other non americans here
Rubber__Chicken on
Are biting insects not considered a reason to stay indoors?
Minimum_Influence730 on
The issue with calling all days with 85% chance of precipitation „indoor days“ is that rolling summer showers in places like Florida are normal but usually last no more than 30 minutes.
illathon on
This is dumb. The only thing keeping me inside is rain and snow. Sunny days you wanna be outside. Who made this dumb chart?
Blahkbustuh on
I think this is cast too wide. This is saying temperatures between 20 and 95 + dew point less than 68?
I live in Central Illinois and have relatives in Sacramento California. Sacramento’s weather is infinitely better than the Midwest.
Sacramento has some chilly days in the middle of winter and has a few nights of freezing temps, but at least 8 months out of the year it’s perfectly fine to be outside. The middle of summer might be too hot (but not humid) and winter might be cold. In Sacramento, you can use your patio and backyard like an additional outdoor room.
In Central Illinois we literally have a nice month in the spring (often with a lot of rain) and a nice month in the fall. The rest of the year, winter is tundra and summer is a humid swamp. And then the wind blows here every season except for when it’s hot. A constant 10-15-20 mph wind sort of eats at you, especially when it’s cold.
Also a dew point of 68 is going to be very humid, like tropical rain forest humid.
Vylnce on
I wanna see Alaska and Hawaii on this to see the two extremes.
Protodad on
Ah yes. That horrible, horrible weather where no one spends a day outside in *checks notes* Florida…
This has to be one of the most biased views on weather I’ve seen in a long while.
