This weekend I saw 35.5ºC on the instrument cluster.

I always thought the limit where it becomes uncomfortable wearing vented clothes is 36-ishºC, however I now read 34ºC to be the standard where one should rather close up. We only went for a 150km or so ride, but I must say both the wife and myself started to feel the effects.

Where does the 34ºC come in and how was it scientifically proven?
