If I was in a different region, like Asturias, it'd be cold and rainy already. Their weather isn't that much better than Manchester's. Down here it gets cold eventually but except for a random rainy day you can wear shorts and a T till November. If you go down to the coast or up above the tree line, it's cooler. There aren't many spots on the planet where the weather is almost perfect for hairless apes. This is one.

However, you can sleep in a hammock in any weather, if you have insulation rated for that temperature. Currently I just use an underquilt rated down to 0°C but only use a thin sheet on top. On a couple of nights I've added a space blanket or poncho when there's been a cool breeze. I have a tarp too but it hasn't been needed yet. Then it rarely ever gets below 0 here even in January. So, I could add an equivalent overquilt, if I was gonna stay out all year.
