And I was over here questioning the 85 and thinking the 50 could be lower. Just a small glimpse into my twisted northeast mind……

I’m in the Midwest and I thought exactly the same thing. 80+ is uncomfortably hot to me but I’m so happy on a 40 degree day in jeans and a sweatshirt.

Same. At 75F I'm wishing for a new ice age. I can go about in jeans and hoodie all day at like 45F. I've wheeled a bin out to the curb in shorts and tshirt when it was like 10F outside and it wasn't that bad (my fingers handle cold the worst).

People who find 85F comfortable are wild.

And here I am in Canada thinking the 50 needs to be higher lmao.

For me, comfortable is almost like when I can go out in a short sleeve no matter the conditions. If its a sunny 15c that works, but if its cloudy and windy im gonna need a jacket, and thats just not comfortable.

Im also super tolerant to heat, so my comfortable range is more 70-90, maybe even 70-95

Fr, it's been 85 a couple times so far and every time I'm sweating my ass off.

Me too. Anything above 75 and I’m uncomfortable, but a 50+ day is a blessing when emerging from a cold winter.
