If you are comfortable when you get out of your car (or step out the door) then you need to remove a layer or two- or plan on dropping a layer about 3M into the run.
That's the bottom line right there.

I lived in Bangkok for 12 years and ran, as well as cycled, during that time. After awhile you get used to the heat and humidity. It wasn't too often that you ran in temps under 70 degrees. One winter we had a severe cold snap and it was down in the low 60's a few mornings. I would put on a long sleeve T-shirt for those days. Got up one morning to go out and the thermometer said it was 56! Yeah, I just bagged the run and stayed inside.

The older I get the colder I get. I still use the old rule add 10° to the current temperature and dress to that.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard that rule but it won’t work for me. If I dressed at 30 for running like I would at 40 for walking to the store, I’d be too hot running. And I’d be too cold walking around at 40 wearing what I would for running at 30. I don’t think there is a fixed degree difference that would even work as a thumb rule for me. I’d run at 30 in what I’d walk in at 55-60, but run at 60 in something I might walk in at 70.
