What to wear by temperature: °C and °F chart
In short: a jacket stays in the outfit up to about +14 °C (57 °F), and shorts work from about +20 °C (68 °F) (calm, dry weather).
Every row is the LazeCast weather engine's answer for that range, and the row borders are its own thresholds — so the chart never contradicts a city page. Temperature is the main input, so it holds in any city.
