Looked at a conversion chart....if that is 40.8 C, that works out to about 105 degrees F.
I hadn't been thinking in terms of long skirts, but they do look dignified. Another possibility that comes to mind is a sarong.

105F is hot, even for eastern NC. We hit 100 once or twice each summer, with 70% + humidity, but seldom 105. Would that I could wear a skirt in my work. Once I retire in a few years, things will be different.

Found the same article - and a picture to go with it.

Not quite my idea of a "long black skirt"... but it looks good and a lot cooler than a dark pair of trousers. Good for him!

"the skirt proved so comfortable he is thinking of not giving it back to his wife"
Maybe not the best move.
He really ought to buy his own.

At 40.8 C I would have gone for a mini skirt
