I’d prefer something like 68-70F (20-21C) at night, but something more like 73-75F (23-24C) in the day
~18C but I also like it much colder, but it hardly gets any colder in my bedroom because my partner is always freezing. In summer it’s really hard for me, above 22C is uncomfortable.
16-18C is probably best. Love curling up in the duvet in the cold, but cold normally means damp too ☹️
Sleeping above 25C is miserable.
It goes as low as 10°C / 50°F in winter. I’ve programmed the radiator valve to give some heat (14°C/57°F) before going to bed and waking up. We have 2 duvets with flannel sheets, and a fleece bedspread on top. Today it’s 17°C/63°F. Just one single duvet, time for regular cotton sheets, flannel ones are getting uncomfortably warm. As soon as it’s about 10°C outside we’ll leave the window open all night. We have a large frame with a mosquito screen and live in a very peaceful neighborhood. For summer, just a cotton sheet, that will probably be left down the feet most of the time. On holiday with sometimes 30°C the whole night, we basically cannot sleep, the confortable limit for us is close to 26°C - but it’s more related to humidity than temperature
Fractions…
10C* (9F/5C) + 32F = 50F
Or
10/5=2,2*9=18,18+32=50If you stick to multiples of 5 it’s easy:
0C - 32F
5C - 41F
10C - 50F
…
30C - 86F
35C - 95F
40C - 104F
If you don’t need to be super accurate:
- C to F: double then add 30
- F to C: subtract 30 then halve it
I like the room cold for sleeping. 60F (15C) is ideal, but we can’t get that cool in the summer.
Thanks!
69 dude!
I’d like to keep it at 15, but my room refuses to cool down any further than 20C even with the window open.
About 17 degrees. Seems to be the sweet spot to keep my Cavalier snoring speed as low as possible without her getting cold.
- 0°C is freezing
- 10°C is cold
- 20°C is comfortable. Roughly “room temperature”
- 30°C is warm/hot
- 40°C is fucking hot
Depending on a variety of factors, I generally like my space to be 18-22°C during waking hours, and maybe 16-20°C for sleeping.
I’m knocked out at anything above 27 and uncomfortable living in a 16 degree room. I don’t know how people are able to handle some of those extreme temperatures
The easiest way I find is to memorize the 0/10/20/30C to F conversions, then plus/minus at 2 to 1 from there.
32 = 0 50 = 10 68 = 20 86 = 30
70F is ~21C, 54F is ~12C, 81F is ~27.5C.
This comparison makes Celsius look even harder to use hahaha.
Only 10 degrees between 68 and 86? That’s either a very nice but chilly day or a hot day
Where I grew up it was between 20 and 30 much of the year. Honestly a 10 point warmness scale is quite easy to adjust to.
I have heard farenheit defenders point out that we’re not water - that farenheit cares about the temperatures that humans care about
We are not water.
But the weather is.
“The Weather” has never come close to 100C. “The Weather” is rarely below -17C and rarely above 37C: 0F to 100F
“The weather” makes far more sense in F than C.
Cooking makes sense in Celsius. We are regularly concerned about freezing and boiling when we are cooking.
I’m born and raised in the US, so I grew up on Fahrenheit, but switched my phone to Celsius about 10 years ago because I wanted to better understand the scale and have stuck with it ever since. I really don’t need to know the exact temperature when I check the weather, just an estimate of whether I should dress for “hot”, “cold”, or “mild”. One of the “tricks” I heard early on was similar: 0°C is freezing. 10°C is cold. 20°C is comfortable. 30°C is warm/hot. 40°C is fucking hot.
I can honestly say that I can only tell apart differences of 1 °F in the context of pools. With air temperature there’s humidity, wind, and sunlight that all contribute to the experienced temperature in ways that can make two 68 degree days feel entirely different.
I just open the windows , so outside temp , wich ranges from -10 to +25 °C
Most of the year I just leave the window open. But in peak winter/summer I keep it around 21/19 respectively
I don’t know but it’s too hot for me and too cold for the wife. A perfect compromise.
25-25.5° With no fan running, up to 26 with a fan running
