Here it is 91°F(32.8°C/ 305.9°K / 550.7°R)out side. To hot for me. So What is your favorite time of year? What temperature do you keep your place at? What do you feel is the best temperature?

Perfect Temperature for me is
Fahrenheit
68 to 72
Celsius
20 to 22.22222
Kelvin
293.15 to 295.3722
Rankine
527.67 to 531.67

I dislike Summer, way to hot and all the yard work. I not a big fan of winter, shoveling snow and cold. Spring and Fall are nice.

I like to keep my place at 68°F (20°C / 293.15°K / 527.67°R) all year round.

I love winter, when it's all rainy and cloudy. It's so nice out then. It can also be nice in spring when it's kinda warm and rainy, a lot of fun to go outside and play then :)

Best temperature for me I think is around 64-66 degrees fahrenheit (17.7-18.8 celcius.) Getting up to 70ish gets uncomfortable, and 75+ is just bad.

I'm definitely not a fan of winter, but blistering heat ain't no fun, either. Current conditions in sunny Austin, Texas:

More Current Conditions
Currently: 90°
Feels Like: 96° Dewpoint: 71°
Barometer: 29.84 in and falling Wind: SSE 10 mph
Humidity: 54% Sunrise: 6:29 am
Visibility: 16.09 mi Sunset: 8:31 pm

Humidity's what sucks most for me. I love dry heat, but Austin doesn't dry out for another month of so... :/

The perfect climate for me would be, of course, San Diego. Trin has promised me a bathtub boy position, but I'm still waiting on that formal offer letter (btw, what are the bennies??). :p

If all the air conditioning suddenly stopped working, the Southeast and Eastern states would become unpopulated as soon as summer came around.

Here in Chicago 75% to 100% humidity is not out of the question. It’s only 43% today. At 92F. I can tell you it’s hot. It is too hot for me.

Also a Oven is a Dry Heat, and I am not going in there are you?

Mid to late summer, hot and dry. 80-95 degrees. Since I live in the NW, the dry part is iffy, but we usually have a couple of months of fairly hot weather. I can stand hot and humid, but only if naked and drinking lots of rum, prefferably with an intimate companion...

I'd say about 80-85F is a good temperature. It depends a lot on whether it's sunny or cloudy, whether there's a breeze, etc...

70 is my fav.


Its hot as hell in Chicago. It is cooler here by the lake. I shudder to think what Schaumburg is like. The breeze is nice, but its just hot air. I think this will be an old people killing summer. We haven't had one in a while, its time to thin the herd.

Low 80's is good, or high 80's if it's not humid (which is never the case here).

Thank you Lianne & Lupo!

Now I know that I'm not the only person who likes it in the 60's! I was beginning to get a complex, because I keep the house in the 60's just to sleep at night. Even my cat shivers. My husband swears that I am a Polar Bear and I swear that he's a reptile because he likes the temperature in the high 70's and low 80's. (Which is intolerable for me).

I think it's because I'm originally from Canada and just do better in a cooler climate, whereas he is from North Carolina and has lived in S. Florida most of his life where he thrives in the heat and humidity.

Good to know I'm not the only one out there.

That was meant as a joke. In Chicago just a few years back we had something like 100 older people die and not just one year it happened two years in a row. The problem is no one cared for the elderly. I went many times over to the guy (he was in his late 90s) next door to see how he was. It was a morbid joke but maybe one that will get people off there holy then thou ass to help out there fellow person. I had Mr. Peters come to dinner at my place more then once in that time. He had no Air and I did. His Kids never came to see him. His Grand Kids never came to see him. His relatives throw marriage who lived across the street never checked on him. I did. Who was he to me? Just a nice guy I grow up with. (I had bought my P’s home, We moved in there when I was 2)

Hay Rose I have some Soil and Green here want some? LOL

<3 Spring and Autumn. <3
67.5 F
Low humidity.


Alternatively, I sometimes enjoy really scorching deserts (100F+) if there is almost no humidity.

Before my wife I would open the windows in Winter and sleep on my heated water bed. Now I have to take and sleep with no sheets or any thing because it's too hot for me. I have to sit about my house naked just to feel cool. Yes I do that with a fan on me when it's 68F in the house. My wife thinks I am nuts. But hay!

I like it all, except winter -- but it's definitely bearable and has it's nice side.

My question to all those people who don't like extreme heat -- why do you live in extremely hot places?

And how many people use good ol A/C compared to those who live in more energy-efficient (green energy?) cooled homes?

Just a thought that's been crossing my mind lately. Living in the city and biking everywhere, you begin to see just how cluttered the streets are with cars. Like flooded with cars all the time.

It gets to me sometimes. :)
