At exactly 21°C
You are at the cold end of this range. If it is windy or you will be out after dark, borrow the outer layer from the fresh guide.
If the morning sits around 16°C, start with the outer layer from the cool guide; by an afternoon near 24°C you will want it off.
If it rains at 21°C: swap the outer layer for a water-resistant one and choose leather or rubber-soled shoes.
Mornings and evenings can dip below 18°C, so keep the cardigan close.
Is 21°C cold?
Not really. It is mild: long sleeves are comfortable and a jacket is optional.
