Enter your city and get layer-by-layer guidance for today, worked out from the feels-like temperature rather than the raw number, plus wind, rain chance, and humidity. Free, no account needed.
| Temperature | Feels | What to wear |
|---|---|---|
| Above 27C / 80F | Hot | Breathable fabrics only. Linen, loose cotton, moisture-wicking synthetics. No layers, sun cover instead. |
| 18 to 27C / 65 to 80F | Warm | T-shirt or light blouse with shorts or light trousers. Carry one light layer for air-conditioned rooms. |
| 10 to 18C / 50 to 65F | Mild | The awkward zone. Base layer plus a cardigan or light jacket you can take off. Check the wind before deciding. |
| 2 to 10C / 35 to 50F | Cool | Long sleeves, a sweater, and a real jacket over the top. Wind protection matters more than extra thickness. |
| Below 2C / 35F | Cold | Thermal base, insulating mid, windproof and waterproof outer. Hat and gloves. Several thin layers beat one thick coat. |
These are the same bands we use in our guide to dressing for the weather, which goes further into why identical temperatures feel so different from one city to the next.
The temperature on your phone is measured in shade, out of the wind. What you experience walking to the station is different. Wind strips away the warm air next to your skin, so a breezy 10C day can feel closer to 4C. High humidity stops sweat evaporating, so 25C can feel considerably hotter and any layer feels stifling. The feels-like figure already folds both in, which is why this tool picks your layers from that number instead of the headline one.
Removing one mid layer adapts a single outfit across roughly an 8 to 11C range. That is the whole reason to dress for your departure rather than the daily high: you can always take something off, but you cannot add what you left at home.
Dress for the feels-like temperature rather than the raw number, because wind and humidity move it by several degrees. Above 27C or 80F, use breathable fabrics and no layers. Between 18 and 27C or 65 and 80F, a single light layer. Between 10 and 18C or 50 and 65F, add a mid layer you can remove. Between 2 and 10C or 35 and 50F, a proper jacket over a sweater. Below 2C or 35F, three layers plus hat and gloves.
Dress for the conditions when you leave, then plan to remove a layer. If you go out at 7am at 6C it does not help that the afternoon reaches 18C. That is exactly why the three-layer system works: taking off the mid layer adapts one outfit across roughly an 8 to 11C range.
Humidity and wind. At high humidity, sweat does not evaporate, so 25C feels considerably hotter and light layers feel stifling. Wind strips the warm air next to your skin, so a windy 10C day can feel closer to 4C. Feels-like temperature, which this tool uses, already accounts for both.
The base layer sits against your skin and manages moisture. The mid layer insulates, and it is the one you adjust most. The outer layer blocks wind and rain and should come off indoors. Several thin layers regulate temperature better than one thick garment, because you can remove them one at a time.
Yes, and it needs no account. Forecast data comes from Open-Meteo. If you want outfit suggestions built from the clothes you actually own rather than general guidance, that is what the Wardrowbe app does.
This page tells you what kind of layers today calls for. It cannot tell you which of your clothes to put on, because it does not know what you own. That is the gap Wardrowbe fills: photograph your wardrobe once, and the daily suggestion is built from your real items, factoring in the same forecast plus occasion, what you wore recently, and what you have told it you like.
