90°F is about 32°C
90°F is hot, about 32°C, and in humid places the heat index runs past 100°F. Light, loose clothing in light colours is the call, plus a hat, sunglasses and water close by. My honest take is that the afternoon belongs to the air conditioning.

The 90°F kit, as I see it
- Loose, light-coloured cotton or linen
- Shorts or a light skirt
- Sandals or breathable sneakers
- A wide-brim hat, sunglasses and water
