Temperature! — General Discussion on True Nudists

I'm wondering if anyone has this problem. I'm a Florida native stuck in Pennsylvania. (I married a non-nudist Pennsylvania gal). Along about this time every year I experience a kind of nude cabin fever. By that I mean I am craving some nude time. But the Temperature in central PA where I live isn't really conducive for nudity (I'm not talking indoors I'm talking outdoors). At least not for me. I like it to be sunny and above 65. Even that is sometimes a bit chilly.
Does anyone else have a temperature threshold where they're clothed if the temperature is below that? Just curious.
I've only been able to spend one day nude this year at the farm. I'm going nuts.
Hoping to make it to Gunnison (Sandy Hook) in a couple weeks.
Thanks for your input!!

I have experienced too many April and early May days when I wasted what would have been a pleasant day at home by going to Gunnison where it was chilly and windy!

I agree about Gunnison. Even if the Temperature on the mainland is in the 70s, this time of year the water is only in the low 50s. The breeze off the water makes it pretty cold on the beach. If you do go, bring a wind shield.

We like 68 and above with no wind( up to about 78) and sun shining. Indoor nudity is not the same as out in nature. The temp can be lower if you are working and burning energy (that keeps you warm) but the temps I mentioned earlier are for walking around and relaxing.

The temperature on my car's thermometer dropped 20 degrees in the 40 miles from home to the beach. We left at intermission because I couldn't take the cold.

Braving just below 70F as I write. Wind not too strong, but the thick clouds are robbing me of the sunshine I had earlier. Water is just a little cooler but angry. Mat be okay to waist-deep with splashing.

Yep, jumping waves, waist-deep was fine (watch the rocks!), but wasn't game to do more. A lot less blue sky, too, but not totally!

Better then April, but still dicey.
One advantage is that there is no admission fee until the Friday before Memorial Day.

I am good at about 60F as long as there is no wind. Its nice to wander about the yard in the early morning quiet before the day really gets started.

About 50 here in Colorado. It was in the 60s at MAR last weekend and a lot of people sunning until the cold breeze dropped the temperature abut 20 degrees.

You are not alone. 65 degrees is too low for me. 75-80 is best on my deck in North Carolina.

My rule of thumb for Gunnison in the spring is mid 60s and up are okay, but it's more important there are no clouds and the wind is in the single digits. If that's the case, I can hang for a couple hours. If not, I might not last a full hour. Depending on how stir crazy I am it still might be worth the trip.

Here in New England even in summer, nights at our local camp can drop into the 50's F. So a late night run to the bathroom can be a little chilly when nude. Usually I will stay nude even at night, but when it gets to the low 50's I have to Donald Duck with a sweatshirt.

I find it extremely variable, depending on wind speed, clouds or not, how strong the sun shines, and what my activity level is. I can be ok down into the 40's if there's no breeze and a good strong sun. If there's no sun and a strong breeze it can be too cool in the 70's. And my level of activity makes a big difference. If I'm doing heavier work, I can be quite comfortable in pretty chilly air with nuthin on.
Now we're gettin 40's at night a lot, upper 30's tonight. so it takes till mid morning to get comfortable for no insulation.

We keep ours at 63 which is fine for a quick bathroom run but would be too cool to be nude outside the bed for an extended period. Daytime is 68 which is OK for being nude if I am exercising, but too cool for passive time.

That was a little cold, so we bumped it back to 66 day/65 night. I'm sure this summer it will try the same trick making it warmer (its already at 79 at night). Sleeping nude helps there, or we have the option to sleep in the finished basement if it gets really hot.
