I can understand canadians wearing shorts on a 10ยฐ day, Aussies sometimes do the same. But what Australian wears a jacket on a 30ยฐC day???
That's an exaggeration and regionally specific NSW and QLD it's common for jumpers and jackets to come out on mid to high 20s. In Tasmania and Victoria shorts in 10C is not uncommon.
Also light jackets and long sleeve shirts are not uncommon in summer especially if working outside. Because the higher UV levels are a real killer (literally). Even with sun screen you can feel the burn very quickly.
I live in NSW and I've seen people wearing shorts in winter but nobody with a jacket if it's 30. Long sleeved shirts for workers, yes sometimes. Umbrellas, yes, too. I didn't know jackets were a thing for hot QLD days.
The sun is hot and stings as you say though, granted
I'm in Vic and have indeed worn jackets and jumpers while it's 30 out. Although usually 25+ is when I start to get rid of some layers
Yeah NSW is a big state where it's cold in the South and very warm in the north. When I say a jacket in QLD. I kind of mean a jacket so light it's basically a long sleeved shirt. Or like something like a topical weight linen sports coat if you're fancy that breaths well.
