Yeah, 25 is doable but a bit higher than I would like it.  We generally keep the thermostat near 23 in summer and 20 in winter.  Anything above 27 means I stay in the AC or a pool.  Anything below 20 and I put on a light jacket.

I guess that's what comes of growing up at the border of a Dfa and a Cfa climate (NW Ohio). 

From what I can tell, this is pretty much average.

In my house, we stay at about 15 degrees. I've walked in once with it being 18 degrees and immediately taken clothes off for it being too hot.

It's nice to have sane company.  To throw some more fuel on the fire, I grew up in a house with the thermostat set to 13C.

Anyway, what's this nonsense about 25 degrees being a sensible temperature? In my house, we stay at about 15 degrees. I've walked in once with it being 18 degrees and immediately taken clothes off for it being too hot. And it's taken the temperature being in single digits before I've decided I need to put something extra back on. 25 degrees, man, that IS swelteringly hot.

I'm Canadian and this is still too much for me.  I think my ideal room temperature is ~19-22.  Do you live extra far north? 

Nope, in the south of England (for most sensible definitions of 'south' - my housemate considers e.g. London pretty far north) although I'll admit I probably exaggerated a little. It might have been closer to 20 (the thermometer's pretty inaccurate) and when I say taking clothes off, I did just mean a hoodie, nothing innapropriate (get your mind out of the gutter, Kuleidos!). Still, 25 degrees is too much, 15 is just right.

You guys are crazy. 20 is perfectly fine, 25 is hot, 30 is horrid. 40 does call for some awkwad meals, Kuildeous.

Oh, if you're wearing a hoodie, that changes things.  It's not hoodie weather until below 0.

It was weird moving from North Carolina to Minnesota and feeling my body acclimate itself to the temperature shift over time.

I used to be able to tell 80 F from 85 F just by walking outside, and anything below 30 was just "cold".

Now I can tell 10 F from 15 F no problem, but anything above 80 is just "hot".
