    Anything less than 40C is bearable..

    I grew up in a place where it gets up to 40+ every year in summer though.

    The standard complaint here is that it's "not the heat, it's the gosh darn humidity!" I can deal with the 90's if I have to, but the 70's or 80's are better, and my usual joke is that my idea of "comfort" is a room where meat won't spoil. My favorite time of year is fall, where the temps can range anywhere from the 40's up to the 60's, and the changing leaves are beautiful and smell wonderful. I don't mind winter either, and because my body stays ridiculously warm, I can do without gloves even in the 20's and 30's.

    It's more the humidity that does me in rather than the heat. The highest temperature I can stand before it gets too hot for me is around 37C, plus if it's that hot out I'd probably burn instantly.

    Like I said though, it's the humidity that does me in. I could be fine with the temperature but the humidity makes me sweat oceans at the worst end of the spectrum. I could just be walking outside for a few minutes and be drenched by the time I returned inside. It really makes me stand out here where it seems no one else has sweat glands.

    75 is warm for me, 80 feels like I'm flying into the sun honestly. I'm a mountain kid, so I hate the heat.

    35°C is too hot. I can manage in +40°C as well but 25°C is optimal.

    Despite being Australian, I can't handle heat. I can easily manage a Scandinavian summer (some of the days are too hot, though), but I'm in a constant attempt to stay as cool as possible in Australian summers.

    I like to be cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold.:eusa_danc

    I live in this crazy ass place where I've seen it as high as 100 and as low as 4 degrees F.

    Yeah anything past 20 is too much for me.

    Although in summer, it's not so much ambient heat that bothers me, but the sun. Light and radiant heat.

    Anything above 68 degrees.

    I like it cold/cool.

    About 27/8 C for me. The heatwave we had in Britain earlier this summer was a bit too much after a while. I'm not used to that lol :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Technically around 76 or 77 is too hot for me, but I chose 80 out of convenience. I'm a very hot-natured person, so what may be considered cool or mildly warm to some is very hot to me. I won't even put a jacket or hoodie on unless it's around 40 degrees. I'll even go out in 50 degree weather in shorts and sandals.

    In the rare event that it gets over 100, that's probably too hot. A couple summers ago, it was a total heat wave here, and for the first time in like 50 years, it got over 100 degrees. That was just too much to bear. Other than that, I like it when it's about 95 out, and you can feel the heat on your skin.

    I put 70, but it's closer to 65 for me, around 67/68.

    Where I live, we pretty much always around the 50s, so anything higher than 67/68 is crazy hot for us. xD

    Once it starts getting past 95, I get a bit antsy with the heat. Otherwise, I can kinda deal with it. After living in a place where it was nearly constantly 120 F + for a few years.. anything lower suddenly doesn't feel so hot anymore. :lol:
