Temperatures between 18-30°C are tolerable for me.

Below 18 is too cold and above 30 too hot in most situations.

This is the temperature range I would tolerate at room temperature. People who say they like cold use heating to keep their indoor temperature warm despite liking cold outside.

But I like the same temperatures both indoor and out and that range is 18-30°C. As long as both indoor and outdoor temperature are within that range I'm happy.

Of course, in Buxton it's only above 18°C for a bout 2 days out, so I'm bleedin' angry.

I think nowadays extreme heat is easier to deal with. However, thousands of years ago I'd have to say extreme heat would be worse.

After all, fire has been around A LOT longer than air conditioning!!

Extreme cold was worse to deal with, why do you think the Maunder Minimum (Little Ice Age) caused so many deaths in Europe and the US? Now it's much easier to deal with the central heating.

It's pretty rare to get hot summer nights here, but when they do happen I'm at my grumpiest. I definitely couldn't live in Phoenix or Las Vegas. Or Atlanta.

I prefer colder weather, but not too cold.

100+ low temperatures doesn't really exist anywhere in the world except for a few rare nights in Death Valley. I don't need to go to Siberia to get -40°F lows, some spots in Northern New England record similar temperatures a couple times a winter (maybe not all winters? I'll have to check).

Depends what numbers we are talking about.
If i had to chose between 40 celsius temp everyday or -20 celsius temp everyday i will probably chose -20 temp, but i would HATE both of them.

Khassab, Oman, holds the world record I think with 107.1°F last June.

If I die in the cold, at least I didn't die sweating.

You might die in cold with your toes fallen off from severe frost bite. You might die in a fire and look like something what burned on a bar-b-q. You won't worry though cos you're dead.

What does it matter if you die sweating? You'll be dead and I'm sure nobody else is going to choke on their dinner over what you looked like dying. Some people die masturbating, puking, chocking on their own puke, weeing, crapping and God knows what.
