What to wear today
Type your city or use your location. You see how yesterday felt, how today and tomorrow feel outside, and what to wear.
Quick answer: dress for the "feels like" temperature. At 10 °C (50 °F) or less, wear a warm knit and a coat. Above 10 °C and up to 18 °C (64 °F), wear a light layer you can take off. Above 18 °C (64 °F), wear something light and breathable.
How the tool decides
The tool decides by the "feels like" temperature, not by the air temperature. "Feels like" adds the effect of wind, humidity and sun. For example, 12 °C (54 °F) with a strong wind feels colder than 12 °C on a calm day, and you dress for what you feel. The card still shows the air temperature of the day as a range.
For today it uses the weather right now, so check again if you go out later. For tomorrow it uses the "feels like" temperature at 13:00 (1 pm) local time, the middle of the day. Tomorrow's tips use the highest UV, wind and chance of rain of the day, and tomorrow has no humidity tip. For yesterday it shows how it felt at this same hour, so you can compare it with now.
The bands below are the same ones the Wearton app uses for its outfit of the day. In the app, the "feels like" temperature also moves up or down by how you said you felt on earlier days.
| Feels like | Band | What to wear |
|---|---|---|
| 10 °C (50 °F) or less | Cold | A warm knit and a coat. Closed shoes. |
| above 10 °C (50 °F), up to 18 °C (64 °F) | Mild | A light layer you can take off, and trousers or jeans. |
| above 18 °C (64 °F) | Warm | Something light and breathable. Linen or cotton. |
Sun, hair, wind and rain
| Weather | When | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| UV | 6 or more | SPF 50 + sunglasses |
| 3 or more | SPF 30 on your face | |
| otherwise | Low UV, light SPF is enough | |
| Humidity | 70% or more | Frizz risk, sleek bun |
| under 30% | Dry air, moisturise | |
| otherwise | Hair behaves today | |
| Wind | 20 km/h (12 mph) or more | Skirts will fly, wear trousers |
| otherwise | Calm air, anything goes | |
| Rain | 40% or more | Leave the suede at home |
| otherwise | Suede is safe |
An outfit planner for your own clothes
This page knows only the weather. The Wearton web app also knows your closet. Its Today page shows an outfit of the day made from the clothes you own. It offers pieces you wore in the last 2 days only after the others, and leaves suede shoes and suede coats out when the chance of rain is 40% or more. After a day out it asks how you felt, and moves your personal "feels like" temperature up or down.
The Wearton phone app, for iPhone and Android, also reads your calendar and plans outfits for the events of the week, with the forecast of each day. It is coming soon.
Questions about what to wear
What should I wear today?
Dress for the "feels like" temperature, not for the air temperature. At 10 °C (50 °F) or less, wear a warm knit and a coat. Above 10 °C and up to 18 °C (64 °F), a light layer you can take off. Above 18 °C, something light and breathable. Type your city at the top of this page to see the "feels like" temperature where you are.
What should I wear tomorrow?
Type your city: the card after today is tomorrow. It uses the "feels like" temperature at 13:00 (1 pm) local time and gives the same three bands: cold, mild or warm. Its sun, wind and rain tips use the highest UV, wind and chance of rain of the day.
Is it colder than yesterday?
The today card says how many degrees warmer or colder it feels now than at the same hour yesterday. The yesterday card shows how it felt at that hour, and yesterday's range of air temperature.
What does "feels like" mean?
It is the temperature your body feels. It depends on the air temperature, the wind, the humidity and the sun. Wind makes cold air feel colder, and humidity makes warm air feel warmer. Weather services calculate it for each hour.
What should I wear in 60 degree weather?
At 60 °F (about 16 °C), wear a light layer you can take off, and trousers or jeans: that is the mild band. If the wind makes it feel like 50 °F (10 °C) or less, wear a warm knit and a coat.
What should I wear in 50 degree weather?
50 °F is 10 °C. If it feels like 10 °C or less, that is the cold band: a warm knit and a coat, and closed shoes. On a calm, sunny day it can feel a little warmer, and then a light layer is enough.
What should I wear in 70 degree weather?
70 °F is about 21 °C, the warm band: something light and breathable, such as linen or cotton. If a strong wind makes it feel like 18 °C (64 °F) or less, add a light layer.
When is it cold enough for a coat?
This tool says coat when it feels like 10 °C (50 °F) or less. When it feels like more than 10 °C and up to 18 °C (64 °F), a light layer is enough. The Wearton app adds a coat or jacket from your closet a little earlier, when it feels like under 14 °C (57 °F).
When do I need sunscreen?
When the UV index is 3 or more, the tool says SPF 30 on your face. At 6 or more it says SPF 50 and sunglasses. Under 3, a light SPF is enough.
Is the tool free?
Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up and no account. To stop abuse, one address can ask up to 20 times a minute.
Do you keep my location?
No. If you use your location, your browser rounds it to about 1 km before it sends it, and it is never put in the page address. Our server uses it only to get the forecast and does not store it or write it in logs. If you type a city, Wearton looks it up with Open-Meteo, and the city is added to the page address, so you can bookmark or share the result. The forecast for that 1 km area is kept for up to 30 minutes, so the next visitor nearby gets it faster; it is not linked to you.
