Will is used to colder locations than the balmy "Deep South" - although
having said that I think he may live further south than we do in Hampshire!
Everyone has their own comfort levels based on what they are used to and
their own metabolism. I myself run "warm" and, as I have said in the
past, have never worn a sweater on the field of play in five seasons of
playing cricket - much to the amazement at times of some of our less
hardy younger players.
I personally find that I am comfortable outside wearing shorts provided
the dew point is 7C or above. This criteria can be met at any time of
year in the Southampton area as the sea surface temperature in the
Channel only dips below this during unusually severe winter weather.
The only downside to wearing shorts is that our National Park has plenty
of wildlife and that does include midges...
