I mentioned no extremes. Moderation does come into it obviously, but the whole point of keeping yourself covered is to retain basic dignity; otherwise, we might as well all run around completely naked.

For example I live in florida, beaches are everywere. Shorts, and short sleaves is considered moderate, the adverage temperature is 98 degrees (summer) with 85% hummidity. It would be tourcher to wear the hijab in that wether.

Obviously, but common sense would kick in; ''I'm wearing a hijab, surrounded by semi-naked people and it is really hot. Maybe I should go
inside?"
If she is in an environment where there are no men, then quite simply she can take the hijab off - it's main purpose is to prevent the unlawful gaze of a non-mahram male.

I look at a girl in shorts and short sleaves and I don't get sexually excited at all, why? Because
1. Im not a pervert
2. I see it all the time

1. Neither am I, but I would still
try to look away
2. That doesn't make it right. An unlawful gaze is an unlawful gaze.

Also the Quran mentions to lower your gaze, but doesn't mention any punishment for not lowering your gaze. Therefore its a suggestion not an actual rule. God knows that Humans can stare, sometimes not even on purpose, and to punish all the people that stare wouldnt be merciful.

Who mentioned anything about a punishment? I was refering to basic dignity. Yes you have eyes and yes you use them to look. But, does it mean you stare at every women who walks by?
The whole point of these islamic rulings is to control both body and mind - do that and then you (plural) have permission to preach to me.
