23-34 is fine. Above that it depends on the breeze and what I need to do that day. It's the hot nights that make me wonder why I haven't yet invested in air con.

Yep 20-25. Anything 20 or over and I don’t have to think about a jumper. Shorts t shirt easy. Sadly for 9 months of the year in this country now it’s about 12-16. Nothing temperature.

Hmmmm, my suggestion is none of you move down here ;). Ballarat is regarded as cold but is still hits 40 in the summer with extended periods over 35. Winter can be a bit nasty by Aus standards, but nothing like the UK -5 at night on occasions. Its going to be interesting this summer I just switched my heating over to reverse cycle so I will have the temptation of air con for the first time.

Out in Mexico at the moment. With air conditioned rooms. The sheer heat thumps you on the head as you step outside. Don't understand the Brits who lay out in it until they are a bright red.

Day:- 18 to 25 degrees centigrade.
Night:- 8 to 15 degrees centigrade.

Ideally it would be sunny all day and we’d get the rain out the way between 3am and 4am each morning. If the OP could see to it, I’d be much obliged. :wink:

Currently in the Costa Brava where it’s 27 at 10am and I’m sweating my nads off already. Why I let Mrs P persuade me to do this type of holiday every year is beyond me.

I do have a nickname, and indeed username to uphold!

Ha, I always read yours as the Cornish snack.

Quite happy with it in the 30s so long as there's air con that works inside. Played football when it was 33-38 C in Taipei (tournament games were 15 mins long 11 a side and rolling subs) and spent a lot of time in Southern India. You quickly get used to regular hot temps outside and warm evenings are great but you have to be able to cool down. Here the low 20s is often the most that's bearable for most people because we don't do air con. Historically haven't had to.

Mrs GB melts when it gets over 18. As you can imagine our holidays are fun.

In winter I'm also quite happy with it in the -3 to +5 area so long as it's clear blue and crisp. Much better than when it's 10 degrees, wet and windy.

Keep away from all the drug cartels , they kill people and stick their heads on poles in Mexico . It’s like the Wild West out there .

Anything above 25°C and I'll think about taking my coat off... Into shorts at 30°C.

Currently 32°C here and loving it (low humidity too, so not even sweaty).

The "right" temperature is when it's hot enough that you want to sit in the shade

You all seem to like it very cold. I’m happy when it’s in the seventies with the occasional jump into the eighties.

Autumn and Winter are my favourite seasons. I work outside in the summer, sometimes out on boats in glaring sunshine, and absolutely despise days like today that can feel like +40c.

Ideal temp/conditions depend on the season. Autumn, maybe around 10c with clear skies. Winter, around -15c and clear skies - pure bliss if I'm out on the cross country skis or fat bike finding my way through the forest.
