Doxa: What_to

Sunday, May 17, 2026

So here I am worrying about 'what to wear'. As a Montrealer, most of the year

sees me wear - to go outside - what the temperature dictates. And that can be long stretches of

this or that coat and, hat and gloves. But there comes a time every year when what I wear

indoors and outdoors are pretty much the same. All of a sudden, it matters - socially - what I look

like. So here we are. I am feeling the pressure of that today.

I have decided to consult my elaborate Microsoft Weather app to help me. What can I learn

from it.

Today is a higher that average warm day. The average high on his date is 19C, but we should be

hitting 24C this afternoon. This tells me that it will be cooler getting there than it might be at

another date. I might well encounter some brave souls in Bermuda shorts in my walk. These

people are dreamers. I will be wearing ankle-length jeans, with runners. Along sleeved T-shirts

that 'breathes' as it gets warmer. And a shirt over it all, because that is what I am seeing women

wearing on the street.

What other information can I glean...

No precipitation:

Little wind:

Air quality is acceptable:

Not Dry:

Cloud cover minimal:

Some UV:

Feels warmer than it is, as will the next two days:

So I should wear light colors, but avoid the screaming colors of actual summer which are

appropriate when the blue of the sky and greenery hues are more vivid!!
