Among some friends I seem to be the odd one out who doesn't like heat and the sun. To me an overcast fall day, 10C is perfect. Rain is welcome if it does not overstay its welcome.

ITT: a lot of us favoring exactly the weather that climate change is taking away

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I literally can't remember the last time I could see my own breath during winter down here, as a kid it happened for a couple of months a year.

[–] thisfro@slrpnk.net 10 points 5 months ago

Slightly above 20°C, scattered clouds

[–] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

60°F. Not raining, but misting.

This is why I live in the PNW.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 months ago

15°C (59°F), cloudy, not raining.

Not sure about space weather though, but it doesn't matter much as I live in a city meaning high RFI so I can't catch basically anything anyway.

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Hot. Damned hot.

30c to 32c is my ideal

Same exact comfort range for me! I sometimes think I might be secretly a rattlesnake

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

You are from bris and you call that hot?? ;p :p

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

0F, fluffy show flakes, low wind. Great for running, biking, snowshoeing, and snowboarding.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

20-23C, partially cloudy, cold-ish wind but quite hot in the sun. At night is should cool down to like 10-14C. Preferably with summer-like day length, I don't really like the dark. But I don't mind the variation, and I can also really enjoy a sunny -10C winter day or a stormy 5C autumn day.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Cold but dry, and still with the long daylight hours. A combination of winter weather and summer light.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Cooler nights around 10, about 22 in the day with decent sun low UV and about 50 percent humidity all round. Slight crisp breeze

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

18°C, drizzle & thunderstorms.
But live in a city in Australia that has clear skies 70% of the year, and an average of about 24 annual days of rain.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 4 points 5 months ago

I prefer warmer weather like 25-30C but that causes most places to turn up air conditioning. 20-25C is the best so you don't have to carry around extra clothes.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Hot if I want to be comfortable, like maybe thirty degrees, and cold if I’m feeling aroused, like maybe 10 degrees.

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

As an American in the south east.. 72-78 slow breeze partially cloudy and very very little humidity.

The humidity is what kills you here... Sure it's 85° out.. but 98% make it suck.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I love walking out in the rain with my woollen coat and a wide brim hat, having the rain drip off me, making that sound. Or sitting on the front verandah with a beer, watching the rain come down. Not fond of heat, although I do like going body surfing through the waves when it’s very hot.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I like variety. The ideal shifts away from whatever weather I've experienced recently, but maxes out at 18°C and has a floor of about -13°C. It also maxes out at 24kph windspeed, or at 30% humidity.

E: -13, not +13

[–] jaykay@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

Warm overcast day with light wind

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

14ºC outside, 27ºC inside with a fan on

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Sunny and 80F (26C) with low humidity.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago

28c sunny day low humidity with me in direct sunlight and no work to do.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

In Florida, anything under 78 F and 50% humidity is just lovely

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

  • 30 °F (–1 °C)
[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Around 68 F and 60-70% humidity feels great to me for outside weather. I grew up in deep south heat and humidity, so humid coolness is super refreshing to me.

Inside I like it around 74 F and 40-50% humidity.

[–] Tehdastehdas@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Inside 23°C for sleeping, 26°C for sitting.

Outside 30°C with strong wind and high humidity, but I can appreciate the popular cool, crisp, dry air.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Jesus, we've had horrible heat waves of 28°C... Where do you live, near equator?

[–] Tehdastehdas@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I lived in Taiwan for two years, partly because of the climate. Now Finland unfortunately - it has 3-5 tolerable months in a year.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Indoors, 76-78f (25)

Outdoors, I love our summer weather pattern. Warm evenings, mornings getting hotter, then beautiful thunderstorms in the afternoon to cool things off, nights usually more clear but often you can see lightning in the sky, dramatic and beautiful. Ideally I would want the top temp at about 90f (32) and evening around the 78f (25). Lately it's been more like 99f (37) on the hottest days, which also means the heat pump can't get the indoors to the 25 easily.

Hot and dry sucks, cold and rainy sucks. But tropical with dramatic rain is beautiful, so enjoyable. Our winter is what people visit to see, it's mild and cool; but summer is my favorite even here. Tropical storms are also wonderful, the trees bending in the wind, the rain filling the streets and afterwards all the frog sounds.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 1 points 5 months ago

60F with a roof over my head.

[–] thejoker954@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Anywhere between about 45 - 70F with the sun out.

Night time low humidy and 55 - 75F and maybe a light breeze. (The lower end of temp is more about nostalgia than comfort)

In the higher range (somwhere around 60-70F) a nice breeze as well.

Low humidity 50% or less.

[–] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sunny, 75°F, slight breeze under 2mph, Just a few clouds just lingering around the sky, and maybe the occasional sun ray making itself known by singing out the song of its people.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I like it all but i hate to be hot, so I prefer under 75F unless there's a beach or pool. I like getting rained and snowed on. I hate when it stays hot at night.
