Get clothing recommendations based on temperature, wind, rain, and activity level.
A clothing weather guide recommends appropriate layers and garments based on temperature, wind, precipitation, and activity level to keep you comfortable and safe outdoors.
| Temperature | Clothing |
|---|---|
| Below -10°C / 14°F | Heavy insulated coat, thermal layers, insulated pants, winter boots, balaclava, insulated gloves |
| -10 to 0°C / 14–32°F | Winter coat, fleece mid-layer, warm pants, winter boots, hat, gloves, scarf |
| 0–10°C / 32–50°F | Jacket or heavy sweater, long pants, closed shoes, light gloves, hat |
| 10–20°C / 50–68°F | Light jacket or sweater, long pants, comfortable shoes |
| 20–30°C / 68–86°F | T-shirt or light blouse, shorts or light pants, sandals or sneakers |
| Above 30°C / 86°F | Lightweight, breathable clothing, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen |
Formula
Effective Temp = Air Temp − (Wind Speed × 0.3) + Activity AdjustmentAir Temp = Measured air temperature in °C
Wind Speed = Wind speed in km/h
Activity Adjustment = +0°C (low), +4°C (moderate), +8°C (high activity)
Worked Example
10°C, 20 km/h wind, moderate hiking
Did you know? The human body generates approximately 100 watts of heat at rest and up to 1,200 watts during intense exercise, which is why layering is essential for temperature regulation (source: American College of Sports Medicine).
