The Room Temperature
« on: April 13, 2025, 02:37:23 AM »
I'm curious what the room temperature is like around the world. Feel free to answer the poll and/or post....

my room was 25C (7pm, at time of post), and will open the window for a while to drop the temp.

I guess I don't understand? Room temperature is an indoor often in controlled setting. Wouldn't the more proper term external feels like temperature.

Ah yes "How warm/cool do you feel" would have been better.

Tho I'm curious what room temperature is around the world, and how often heating/cooling/windows is used to adjust the temperature.

Are you asking what temperature people in different places like to keep their homes? I'm sure there's a range depending on personal preferences, local outdoor temperature, and how much an individual can afford to spend on heating and cooling. When I lived in an area with big seasonal swings in temperature, I tended to keep my house around 67 F. (19 C.) during the day in winter, and I wore sweaters; at night I used an electric blanket on my bed and allowed the house temperature to drop to around 50 F. (10 C.) to save on the cost of heating. In summer I opened windows in the evening to cool the house and closed them in the morning. Then the house would sometimes get as warm as 85 F. (29 C.) and I wore shorts and used a fan. A few decades later, when I had a bit more money and lived in a milder climate, but still with seasonal swings, I kept my house around 68 F. (20 C.) in winter and around 74 F. (23 C.) in summer. Now I live in a warm climate and I have solar PV panels on my roof so my electricity is free, but I've also gotten accustomed to the heat and I'm most comfortable at around 77 or 78 F. (25 to 25 1/2 C.), and so I keep my house around that even though I could keep it at 72 F. (22 C.) if I wanted to.

Lots of people in the world cannot afford heating or cooling and have to live with wide swings in temperature. I think that most people who can afford it keep their homes around the low to mid 70's F. (low to mid 20's C.).

But people become accustomed to warmer or colder temperatures if they live in hot or cold climates. One day when it was very warm, around 80 F. (27 C.) and I was wearing shorts and a light short-sleeved shirt, there was a young woman wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I asked her why she was wearing such warm clothing and she said "Where I come from it never gets this cold." She was from coastal Oaxaca in Mexico, where it's always hot.

The Mexican author Juan Rulfo, writing about the "tierra caliente" region of Mexico, said that when the campesinos died and went to hell, they came back for their blanket.

So, "room temperature" depends on what sort of climate you're accustomed to, and how much you can afford to spend to regulate the temperature in your house.

Awesome explanation and examples. For me, I like to keep the temp around 22C or a bit below most of the time. In summer I will let it creep up to a max of 26C or so, then run the evap cooler; in winter I don't mind when it drops to as low as around 17C or so, I got extra blankets :)
