What to wear by temperature
What to wear in 95 degree weather
95°F is about 35°C
95°F is about 35°C: serious heat, the kind that rises off the pavement. The lightest, loosest clothing makes sense, along with a hat, sunglasses and water. My honest take is that 95°F is weather for early mornings, shade and air conditioning.
Get roasted by your own forecastFree, no account, and you pick how rude I get.
The 95°F kit, as I see it
- The lightest, loosest clothes you own
- Light colours rather than dark
- Breathable shoes or sandals
- A wide-brim hat, sunglasses and water
