That's about as warm as Iceland gets. Maybe they're Scandinavian?

I actually do sometimes wear shorts at this temp, but usually I'm one of the only ones, and I only do it if I'm doing something relatively high intensity like walking a few miles and going over hills so I expect to get sweaty. At 13C in SF, if the sun isn't out, I usually see people wearing winter gear!

Based on the url I'm guessing the developer is Polish, which I would expect to get warm enough for 13C to be culturally considered pants weather, but what do I know.

I used to wear shorts down to -5 or so when I went jogging. I put out a lot of heat when I exercise, and I will sweat at any temp. My knees need to be kept warm though, or they sort of catch and make a disturbing clicking noise.

The name indeed sounds Polish, but https://github.com/skorotkiewicz says "Bayern. Germany".

I live in Germany now for 15 years. But I was born in Poland. :)
