 Also, to avoid 'wind scorch'. Much like wind chill, if the temperature
outside's 45c, then your body is cooler than the ambient air -- so your body
accumulates a layer of _cooler_ air around it. Wearing clothing helps to
keep that layer of cool air in place, whereas without it the wind'll blow
the cool air away.
