What night-time low is too warm to sleep comfortably? (hot, warmest, world)

I wouldn't say that. We only have 200-400 more suun per year than most of England. The difference is less than between Syd and Melb.

I love cool evenings which we have had plenty of this winter in south Florida, but the moment it hits 70F in the evenings on comes the a/c.

London gets about 1400 hours a year, Melbourne 2150 - a different of 750 hours. Yorkshire and Scotland get around 1200 hours - significantly cloudier than Melbourne, actually. Sydney gets about 2400 hours a year. The sunniest parts of England, the Channel Islands, get 1900 hours a year.

I visited the Channel Islands in Sept. one year I was amazed at the temperature, warm, very warm!

I don't remember the Channel Islands being part of England. United Kingdom, yes.

So the officially sunniest place in England is Eastbourne, East Sussex, England with 1,815 hours per year.

Here in Lincoln the official number is 1,538 hours per year. Minimum temperature here tonight is a shocking 5.8c, I think I need the AC on

Being right in the sea the level of humidity helps to keep it feeling mild and it has mild minimum temperatures.

Anything over 70 is too warm for me to sleep well at night.

the overnite low here was 21.2C / 70F last night and I slept well. So cleary for me, that's doesn't fill the "uncomfortable" criteria. :P

This summer, we've had 11 overnight lows at or above 20C, with only 2 of those above 25C.

By my standards, overnite lows of about 22-23C becomes uncomfortable for sleeping without some form of A/C or fan, but while 22-23C does not sound "uncomfortable", you have to take into account the warmer temps indoors from the day's heat, and that most of the night is obviously warmer than the overnite low.



should or are?



tropical "appearance" with a gloomy climate - nah doesnt work for me. The climate has to be good aswell, I don't like pretending

Well here it is normal to have 85-95% humidity overnight when it doesn't rain, so nights that don't drop below 18 C have dewpoints of at least 16 C. I suppose your nights at 20 C don't usually have dewpoints at 16+ C?



"Should" meaning the average person will expect some discomfort.
(I do not fall into that category because for me, a bit of sweat isn't discomfort )


Real-life is too depressing to think "long and hard" about reality, IMHO.
In Canada, most of my time I dream, make-believe and celebrate warm fronts and heat waves.
Make-believing has actually resulted in some of my most fondest memories.
