No, I didn't need my hoodie 'cause it was about 82 F and the dumpster is only a 100 feet away. I will probably start wearing my hoodie in the middle of October when the cold fronts start moving through the state and it cools down a few degrees. Still have afternoon highs in the low 90's each day. This has been going on for 3 months now. Very humid too. Wears you out after awhile. I believe that New Zeeland is now heading towards summer. I miss the cooler temps that are up in the northern states but anything below 60 seems cold to me.
