I like it when it's 90 F after dark; it feels quite warm. Any nighttimes below 95 F are easy for me.
I strongly dislike summer mornigns below 65 F; mornings at 70-75 F are much better.

Oh my goodness
90F after dark would be like a nightmare for me
You do realize that electricity costs for cooling a home are quite high in parts of the US?
For me to be comfortable at night the lows have to at least be in the 60s.

However, I think we understand your need for warm air.

Well, like I said it only means nights feel "quite warm" and that description alone I imagine does not sound scary to most people, does it?

Yes, but I could accept leaving the thermostat as high as 84 F if I needed to save money.
If I had money to burn, I still wouldn't want it cooler than 80 F inside.
Wouldn't that save me a lot of money on A/C?

I hope I haven't been too annoying...
I was hoping that most people might find my comments entertaining and maybe amusing.

I should introduce you to my parents...LOL...I swear my Dad complains that it's too cold in the house during summer even if the A/C is set at 78-80 and it's 100 degrees outside!!
I have one of those thermostats that drops the A/C temps a bit lower at night and then raises them during the day when most aren't home.

Your comments have been entertaining
I do sweat when it is above 75F indoors.
I know people just like you would like to see warm weather all the time.
My ideal temperature range is between 55-65F during the day with 40s at night.

Thanks.

There's a vague possibility I could sweat between 75-80 F indoors, but I have a skill or technique that I can "turn off" my extra body heat to equalize usually.

I do occaisionally enjoy some cool afternoons, say 50-65 F and frosty mornings down to maybe 28 F if it's not windy or my mood is right.
Is that still warm to you?...
Actually as long as it's always warm inside (75 F+) I'm usually a happy camper.

Your ideal temperature range is splendid winter-weather for me, or "fair-weather" in late fall or early spring;
perfect for growing "cool-season" plants.

*However 55-65 F is tyical of early fall and mid-late spring here.

I'm sure in a perfect world, every day with 65 as the high would be great. But I wouldn't want 40 every morning.

That last part was pretty funny.

In my perfect world, (If I had to pick one fixed weather pattern), the sun would greet me every morning.
At the crack of dawn, it would always be 68-74 F. Any afternoon temps between 78-94 F would be acceptable too.

In this climate, sweaters would be more about fashion than function...
(unless you're sick, wet from a shower or an early morning swim )

My ideal climate:
30 inches of precipitation
183 days of sun
182 days of clouds
Average High 65 (All year)
Average Low 43 (All year)
I don't think such a climate exists

Toronto is close for cloudiness, but your average temps are MUCH warmer:
Even Windsor, our southernmost city averages about 57/41 F.

32 inches precip
Avg. high 52 F
Avg low 37 F

*Such a climate does exist... Think southern hemisphere.

Have you ever seen Lord of the Rings?

Aukland New Zealand averages a summer high of 73 F and a winter high of 59 F.
Annual average is 67 F, so head just a little south and you have your perfect temperatures.
Records for Aukland are a very mild 32 F and 88 F.
However, rainfall will be maybe 40-60 inches in most parts of the country... There are drier parts in some places though.

Also, San Francisco might be pretty close to what you're looking for.

They sound like they're interesting characters.
Do they ever find Texas to hot for themselves, btw?

That's good.
For me I don't think I'd want to let it go much higher in the day because medicine and a few other items can go bad if stored at 85-86 F.
