A general rule of thumb to use is, If the outdoor temperature is too hot or cold for a human to be comfortable, it's too severe for your dog.

Hot temperatures, combined with humidity, can cause dehydration and heatstroke.

Temperatures lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit can cause hypothermia or frostbite.

50-60 degrees and higher are safe temperatures for your dog. 85+ degree temperatures are a different beast in itself, but we're just talking about cool to cold temperatures here. 45 degrees or so are generally acceptable, but you'll still want to keep an eye on how your dog is handling itself in these temperatures.
