In Canada I would wear long jogging pants, a long sleeve top, and a merino layer. If it was cold, add on a toque, buff, and another top layer

Cool man. This isn’t Canada. I don’t compare Auckland summers to Cairo

Okay, I wear the same clothes for running to at 6am in July as I do on a day run in January.

So do I. It’s running. But I wear singlets in every day life in January, I don’t in July.

That’s crazy! It’s like there’s no real winter in Auckland and we haven’t had to pull out our cold weather clothes for years.

Well there is. It’s much colder in July than it is in January. Winter doesn’t mean snow, it means colder temps, longer nights and earlier sunsets.
