My definition of hot is sweating without physical activity. Around 20°C in the sun and maybe 25°C if it's cloudy. Humidity also plays a part but it's nearly always high here.
I agree 30C is a good cutoff, with some dependence on season. When I experienced mid 80s / 29C this January (a daily record high for the location), we were like man, it's downright hot out here. But that temperature probably wouldn't phase me in July. Maybe that's just because then I expect it to always be hot without fail. Above 86F I would always describe as hot weather any time of year.

You sweat at 20C without physical activity? I know it's your opinion and I respect that, but it just seems strange that you find 20C hot!

In the sun, it can feel hot. Especially if you're overdressed or it's spring and you're accustomed to winter temperatures. In fall, it can feel chilly with some wind and clouds. For me, I'd say "hot" starts in the lower 80s with sun and/or humidity, and around 90 degrees without either.
