Listen, I need to introduce you to any hot climate's weather terms (done in american and rest-of-the-fucking-world-but-liberia units for funsies):
You can be very cold and freezing. You can't be very cold and not freezing. ;)
In freedom units, as viewed from New Mexico, where humidity is typically under 50% and often below 10% in the summer:
> 100 = hot or "sweltering" just because I like the word.
90 - 100 = hot
80 - 90 = warm
70 - 80 = comfortable
60 - 70 = cool
50 - 60 = chilly
35 - 50 = cold
< 35 = freezing
I reserve sweltering for when you can see the heat waves in the air. It is a great word. New mexico is a weird one though, being high desert, right? Ya'll actually get a wildly cold winter, don't you?
I have some hot takes regarding this scale.
It's said in the same manner as a mild sarcasm. I'm not sure the word for it, but deliberate understatement that specifically plays on it being hotter than 'warm' is.
As far as 20/68 being chilly, to me it's downright hellish. During the summer, we would keep the house temps around 85/30, because you'd be so used to the sweat and heat of the sun that it wasn't too bad with a light fan... and that was in the houses lucky enough to have heating/cooling. The rest just made do with shade and designs that promoted a breeze.
Anyway, as I said, this is a hot climate's weather terms. If you were able to keep the room temperature the same as the outside in spring or autumn, you probably aren't in a hot climate.
We have long stretches of 90/32+ and high humidity in the Summer and long stretches of <30/-1 in Winter. And our Spring and Autumn are both notoriously ephemeral, so those rules only apply for a few days to a week most years.
90+ is cute. ;) I once lived in an apartment without AC because a roommate and I were trying to get out on our own. I went up there early to start working during the summer, and the city set its record for longest period where it never (even at night) got below 90. I was working for some rich girls with horses, so the days freaking sucked, and the only relief I got was the short showers. I think we usually hit 90 during the day by february. I've moved away because screw all that. I can't imagine what it's like now as the average temperatures keep climbing.
OMG where is this place so I never ever go there
Without being specific (some family is still there and it's small enough I'm identifiable by this account), it's near the tropic of cancer, and a pretty decent sized body of water.
It ain't the heat, it's the humidity.
