The thing parents miss
💡 Sun changes everything in the 60s: 64°F and sunny feels like shorts weather, 64°F and overcast with wind feels like a jacket. Check the sky, not just the number.

Questions parents ask
Is 65 degrees short sleeve weather for kids?
Borderline. Short sleeves with a light jacket handy is the safe answer; by 68°F short sleeves alone are fine.
Do kids need a jacket at 62 degrees?
A light one for the morning. It will come off as the day warms.
Can kids wear shorts at 65 degrees?
Active kids in full sun, yes. For a normal school day, pants until 70°F.
