Most photographers shoot the majority of their photographs during daylight hours and in dry conditions at between 10-20°C. That’s to be expected. They are the type of conditions that are most conducive to going outside with a camera: you don’t need any special equipment or clothing, and you can just grab your camera and go – even your tripod and bag can be left at home if you mount your favourite lens and accept its limitations.
