In Belgium you generally have to substract 5 C from the termometer, so 18 C feels like 13 C. For me the best temperature is 23 to 26 C, anything above is too hot. I start to melt at 30 C. The first years here I was quite shocked to see people wearing winter jackets and boots in July (no kidding, I saw someone today in a winter coat, and a few years ago a woman in thick coat and high boots when it was 28 C at least) come November they put on their t-shirts and shorts. I just don't get them.
For reading in public no problem on metro or train, or in the park. Noisy cafe or restaurant is a no no.
Anyway, it looks like our yearly week of summer is over. Today totally feels like autumn. Why did I even buy summer dresses...
