Well, it is unique to be nude in any overcast, rain, etc. It certainly isn't felt as a reprieve from all of those sunny days, but new and interesting, rather than a damper. It is a trip to a very different world, of humidity, tall grass and trees, different wildlife. I  like Arizona, because of the diversity within a relatively short drive. Today, I could be in snow and pines in an hour or so. I can be in the desert at 70F. I could be exploring any number of ecosystems in their various dormant winter stages. There has been rain and snow, creeks are flowing. Add a couple of hours travel and I could be having a warm Sonoran interlude at the sea. The thing is, it is only warm for a few hours each day, unless acclimated, but for two or three months a year, that's okay.
