    What to wear by temperature

    What to wear in 35 degree weather

    35°F is about 2°C

    35°F is just above freezing, which sounds harmless and is not. It is damp, raw cold, often with sleet or slush instead of snow. My call is a warm coat over a sweater, a hat and gloves, and waterproof shoes, because 35°F puddles are the worst kind.

    The 35°F kit, as I see it

    • Warm coat or puffer
    • Sweater or hoodie underneath
    • Hat and gloves
    • Waterproof shoes or boots

    What 35°F feels like in the wind

    • 10 mph wind: feels like 27°F

    What I think of 35 degree weather

    • 35°F is freezing’s cousin that never quite commits but ruins your socks anyway.
    • Thirty-five degrees: too warm to snow properly, too cold to forgive.
    • At 35°F the rain feels like it is personally trying to become ice.

    Questions

    Is 35 degrees cold?

    Yes. 35°F is about 2°C, only three degrees above freezing, and a 10 mph wind makes it feel like about 27°F.

    What is 35°F in Celsius?

    35°F is about 2°C.

    What to wear running in 35 degree weather?

    Runners’ rule of thumb says a run feels about 15 to 20°F warmer than the reading, so 35°F running feels like a 50 to 55°F day: tights or shorts with long sleeves, light gloves and maybe a hat.
