That's inaccurate. It gets much warmer than 15 degrees in summer here.
Sometimes *way* too much.
As for the t-shirt, you are not going to be in one when the temperature
is -1 degrees for long periods of time, but something like 5 minutes may
be just ok. It can actually be quite refreshing.

I froze my butt off in San Francisco last weekend. It was 65F (call it
18C) except it was windy and humid enough to almost be foggy. So, yeah,
I know. :-)

No I did not understand. It was lost on me. I read Kilometer as
Kilometre but as an excuse I am dyslectic and easily confused.
And it is a good joke.
