What temperature is cold outside?
At what temperature it’s cold outside is different for everyone. Some people think it’s cold when the temperature is below 20ºC outside, while others think it’s cold when the temperature is below 15ºC outside.
So this might be a difficult question to answer because it looks like an opinion. That’s why we take the average of what we find on the internet and the average was 10ºC. When the temperature is under the 10ºC most people think it’s cold. It’s a good idea to wear a jacket. Then your body stays at temperature.
What is a fact is that women are colder than men. That’s why there can sometimes be a fight about the thermostat when a husband and wife (or boy and girl) living together.
What also plays a role is where people grew up. That makes sense because when raised in the north of the United States you used to live with cold temperatures. When you raised in Florida, the temperatures are a lot higher and you think it’s rather cold.

Above you can see that the coldest day in the USA was on January 20, 1954. The temperature dropped to -70°F or -56,7°C. That is really cold. What stands out is that is that is really long ago it’s been a long time since it was this cold. in 1996 it was the last time tempelure was below -60°F. That means people who born after 1996 have not experienced this cold.
It’s probably been so long because of climate change. The earth is warming and the chance that it will be so cold becomes smaller, but it’s definitely still possible that it will be so cold as in the above table.
