Too cold to tan?

Headed to Palm Springs for a week with the BF and was hoping for some definite speedo weather (like 75-80). Forecast is for mid-60s, but generally sunny. I know it’s all about personal preference, but curious to hear whether people view 62-65 and sunny as too cold to lay out. Palm Springs also has a great outdoor City/public lap pool that I love to use, but at 8a air temp may be 40 degrees —not sure I’m going to be lap swimming in that.

Biggest issue is packing: if 75 degrees, we were bringing a duffle filled with speedos and T-shirt’s and shorts. 60s means (dreaded) pants and perhaps long sleeves!

Thoughts? Thanks guys.

Hmm, I would say mid 60s is borderline, perhaps if you are in a sheltered spot out of the wind it would be ok.
I would still be in shorts though, but I am a Scot!
As for outdoor pool I would have no worries, only your head will be out the water. I have been in heated outdoor pools below 0'C and snowing!

Mid 60s? Absolute scorcher if it was in Scotland!

i've never been out there but i'd be worried about the desert humidity factor. They always say it feels cooler at high temps than a more humid climate. Not sure if that would apply here as well.

That being said its supposed to be 70 here on Tuesday and I plan on getting some sun!

VA —that’s a good point. I’ll try (almost) anything once! Enjoy the 70 degrees!

FYI —60 degrees and sunny with no wind is perfectly Fine for speedo tanning in Palm Springs!
