I agree, Steve. At 70˚F and up if it's raining I'm happy in hat, t-shirt, shorts. What do you wear in rain at 70˚+F?
Round these parts (Colorado mountains) rain falls (pun intended) into to categories: -- quick, cool, refreshing. Blown in and through and cools you down wonderfully and the sun is out in 10-20 minutes. No jacket required if starting temp is 70+ Even in the mountains with limited view of the sky, these squalls are easy to see and know there is no need to don a jacket. -- Instant shift of seasons from summer to late fall or early spring. No matter the starting temp (90 even) the temp plummets to 40-50 and it can last from 30 minutes to the rest of the day or even several days. This is what ventile is for. Grin.
