How do you stand an indoor temp that cold? I would be turning blue with an indoor temp that cold
lol @ turning blue. It was overnight. That's what happens when you keep doors and windows open in the evening then not light the wood stove. Night time drops even more inside. So I did light the stove this morning to take that chill out of the air and bring it back up to 60s. Go figure, an above normal temp week and month and we still need the heat. Some fail to understand that while constantly plastering those red above normal maps & ignoring the cold. Hence why I had to ignore.

Not indoors though but I do have a better tolerance then most I guess. I like to be warm inside with the ability to step outside and be cold with natural air. Nothing worse than constant fake cold air, it was getting frustrating in September needing the fake air for cold/cool air.

I'm the same way! Just not with those temps. Kinda weird! It's either A/C or heat seems like for me. 15C is chilly inside but 21C is too warm.

I agree 25c indoors is inhumane unless you're old.
I agree 25c outdoors is perfect for June-July-August only.

We heat our apartment to 70° in the winter, don't use heat or AC from mid Feb to mid Mar and again from mid Nov to early Dec, and from mid Mar to mid Nov, we set our AC at 75°.
To be fair, I spent 13 years living in a 84° house from June to September, because my aunt didn't want her power bill to exceed $200/month

Hard to comment without details but I keep my house in the upper 60s, low 70s in the summer and my bill under $250 .. May to September AC on practically everyday. So either there was something else driving the electric bill up for her at the time or the A/C was very inefficient. NO WAY keeping the temp in the mid-upper 70s at least would drive it over $200/mth. No excuse to keep indoors at 84°. NONE, Not in this damn era or country. You destroy a home keeping it over 75°. Walls, beams, floors, ect, but that's another topic.
My house is usually around 60 F/16 C in the winter and 75 F/24 C during the summer. It certainly does go outside those margins, mostly in the summer. During the summer it can get up to 80 F/27 C and even warmer if I don't turn on the A/C. Winter I sometimes turn the heat up to 62 F or 63 F (17 C). If the heat it off, it can go down to 58 F/14 C. A sweatshirt and socks suffice in keeping me comfortable despite the low indoor temperature. A fan is my best friend during the summer.
I think my ideal indoor winter temperature would be 65-68 F (18-20 C) and summer around 72 F/22 C, but need to stay cognizant of the environmental and financial costs.
25c indoors is disgusting. Outdoors 25c is perfect, but indoors no
During summer our AC is set to 76F. My bedroom usually feels a bit warmer than the rest of the house, and a bit cooler when the heat is on, so it must no be insulated very well.

Try a 3,000 sq ft house in Phoenix, you realize our NORMAL mean temp hits 97° in mid July, right? Think of how many BTU's it would take to cool a 3,000 sq ft house 27° F from what would be about 102° without AC down to 75°. We have an avg power bill of $180 in July setting an 1,100 sq ft apartment to 75°, so do the math
72 F is the perfect temp for indoors IMO. 77 F is ok during the middle of the afternoon when I'm active, but terrible when trying to sleep. 56 F is way to damn cold for indoors regardless of what you're doing, but Cambium is an Eskimo, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Wunderground is showing possible 50s for lows next weekend in Orlando, so it looks like central Florida will finally be getting its big cooldown soon.

You want it warmer when you're active, and cooler when you're lying still?
