too hot? too cold?

[Fruitloops1]

At what temperature do you not take the kids outside? What is too hot? What is too cold?

I don't go out if it's under 45° or over 90°...mainly b/c I have 2 infants here ( 5 months & 3 months old). That's what I put on my paperwork for the county & they were fine w/ it.

With the ages I have I would say not below 0 degrees F and not above 95 degrees F.

If it is below 20 degrees I wouldn't have the kids out for long. Just long enough to get some fresh air.

We don't go out in the high 90's and triple digit heat. We're in the South and it gets blazing hot.

There's a great chart here

I don't have a specified temperature at which we don't go out. We go out almost every day. The rare exception is when the weather forecast includes a warning to stay indoors because of frost bite danger for even short exposure, (or if I'm feeling really miserably sick/exhausted and it's freezing out and it's raining for the third day in a row). I do adjust how long we're out there based on weather. Right now, we're out from 8:00 to 11:00 am, which works well for avoiding the hottest part of the day.

I think it depends on where you live.

Below 65 is too cold here. Above 110 is too hot.

Below 15 with the wind chill and above 95 with the heat index.

Yes, I think it depends on where you live.

We have hot humid summers with temps in the upper 90ies and we still go outside.

Fall and Spring are just plain crazy and can be anywhere from freezing to sweating to death

.......and winter time is well, winter time, temps are rarely over 0 and we still go outside and play.

Reminds me of a trip to Florida we took one year. Our hotel had an outdoor pool. All the people were in jeans and sweatshirts/jackets.......my kids were swimming and it was 65 F degrees!

I think I have posted pictures here before where some of our winter days have temps that actually reach to -35F or more and most folks just go on like any other day here.

I totally agree. It is what you are used to. I love 60 degrees. It is perfect but I'm sure it isn't to someone who lives where it is hot most of the time. I find anything over 85 degrees to be unbearably hot We still go outside though, or I would go nuts.

We were out yesterday but I didn't know it was 99. I wondered why I was sweating while standing in the shade.

We had a similar trip to FL. It was in the lower 70's and people were in their coats and we were in swimming suits on the beach
