What's your ideal outdoor temperature range?
I like it most when it's in the 60s to the low 80s. Anything in the mid 80s or above seems hot to me. Below 60 is better than the heat, but not my ideal.

2. Hi, NewWaveChick!
I hate these hot summers, and with global warming, I think this will be the norm. :hi:

8. It really sucks, but I think you're probably right.
:hi: Give me fall, winter, or spring---but I don't like summer! Especially global warming summer. :( It's just gonna get worse, I'm afraid.

12. Fall and early winter are my favorites
Edited on Sun Jul-30-06 05:44 PM by mvd
The cold can be a little refeshing at first. I like fall more than spring because springs are often pretty short now.

3. 60° - 70° is my ideal outdoors & indoors
Which means I'm indoors a lot since we don't get many of those days here in Oklahoma.

22. I've been indoors alot, too.
We're having an unusually hot summer up here and I'm heat intolerant, so I've been spending way too much time in one bedroom. (Where the window air conditioner is). I'm comfortable at 65 degress, but anything higher than that makes me perspire.

9. Right around 70-75 with a gentle breeze, that's perfect for me.

10. 65-75°
I can tolerate a lot lower, but 65° is my comfort zone. I hate the heat, but I deal with it when I have to.

15. Thermostat is set at 56, but it's only 65 I think that is about as cool as
it is going to get with the outdoor temp being 101 right now

16. It's 99 degrees here, so somewhere about freezing would make
me feel a lot better. Grocery shopping in this heat is awful, not to mention cooking.

18. 75-80 in the summer
40-60 in the winter.

Unfortunately, I live in Duh-High-Ah, where it goes straight from winters that feel like -5 to -15 degrees with the burning sub-arctic windchill to summers that are unbearably hot and sticky because of all the humidity. No spring or much of a fall here.

20. I prefer it between 60 and 75 or
the really really hot over 100 degrees days sometimes. It depends on my mood. I know I'm not supposed to talk about certain things according to the rules, but I don't cool off quite normally that way most people do, so the over 100 degree days work for me like a 85 to 95 degree days work for most other people. It's too hard to explain without breaking the rules, so let's just say 60-75 is perfect and the over 100 deal is just another weird Jama thing.

21. Low 70's at night, about 85 in the afternoon, low humidity.
Typical spring weather here, which unfortunately only lasts a few weeks.

23. About the same as you: temperate. Which is why it makes no sense at all
that I used to live in the SoCal desert, have for so long worked in the tropics, and now live in the inferno of southern Nevada. :D
