At exactly 23°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 mild guide.
If the morning sits around 18°C, start with the outer layer from the fresh guide; by an afternoon near 26°C you will want it off.
If it rains at 23°C: swap the outer layer for a water-resistant one and choose leather or rubber-soled shoes.
Air-conditioned offices run cold. A thin layer saves the afternoon.
Is 23°C cold?
No. It is warm: most people are comfortable in short sleeves.
