At the 1bar altitude it's 180K.

Might want to wrap up.

At the height where the pressure is equal to that of Earth's atmosphere, the temperature is 180 Kelvin...meaning -93 Celsius. So pretty chilly.

Hmm... do we have any idea what the pressure is at the altitude band averaging 20-30C? Or, heck, even 5-40C? Still tolerable with the right clothes.

Judging from this graph the temperature would be around 300K where the pressure is ~5 Atm. Pressures of ~5 Atm are found underwater on earth at depths of ~150 feet or so, which is routinely achieved by divers, including saturation divers who live at depths like that (or greater) for weeks at a time.

So definitely survivable, and even comfortable. Neglecting the chemical environment and the wind, of course. But you can be protected from a harsh chemical environment with some pretty simple coverings and depending on the variability of the wind you might be able to ride along with it in a way that's not too uncomfortable.

A positive-pressure suit purged with your favoured blend of N2/O2 will suffice.

Oh, thanks. I thought you ment Kalvin, but the rest made no sense. Thank you.
