I know right

I am adapted to where I live, so when I here someone say a temp I consider lukewarm at best is hot, I just point out that it's all relative.

Furthermore, unlike you, I actually like living in a warm climate. I came from a cold climate and always hated it. Means I probably have alot in common with ColdCanadian or similar members

Well, it depends on the latitude you are lying...

In the Tropics...
0-10°C is freezing
11-20°C is cold
21-25°C is cool
26-30°C is mild
31-35°C is warm
36-40°C is hot
41-50°C is blazing

In Temperates...
-15--6°C is freezing
-5-5°C is cold
6-15°C is cool
16-20°C is mild
21-25°C is warm
26-30°C is hot
31-40°C is blazing

In the Polars...
-30--21°C is freezing
-20--11°C is cold
-11--1°C is cool
0-10°C is mild
11-20°C is warm
21-25°C is hot
26-30°C is blazing

Approximately as follows:

Below 15°F (-9°C): Frigid
15-49°F (-9 to +9°C): Cold
50-65°F (10-18°C): Cool
65-84°F (28-29°C): Mild
85-95°F (29-35°C): Warm
95-109°F (37-43°C): Hot
109°F (43°C) and above: Sweltering

Although really, saying 64*F is "cool" and 65*F is "mild", for example, isn't fully representative of the whole picture, as a sunny, windless 55*F can feel much warmer than 62*F with strong winds, full overcast, and rain, just to cite an example. I prefer to think of it as more of a continuous spectrum, shown in the image below.

Yellow and green-yellow colors represent temperatures I'd consider mild, with oranges, reds, and browns representing warm, hot, and sweltering. Greens represent cool temperatures, with blues representing cold, deep purples representing very cold, and pinks and silvers representing frigid temperatures.

Edit: Just realized I made another post in this thread before the grave-dig farther up on this same page.

I wish there were more adjectives to describe the temperature.

Below -20 °C: frigid
-15/-20 °C: icebox
-10/-15 °C: pungent
-5/-10 °C: cold
0/-5 °C: mild cold
5/0 °C: cool
10/5 °C: mild/cool
15/10 °C: mild/warm
20/15 °C: warm
25/20 °C: very warm
30/25 °C: relax while sitting on a bench weather
35/30 °C: hot
Above 35 °C: it feels like a hair-dryer and you get thirsty

^ What I consider room temperature is in your "very warm" range?

You are right, adjectives don't explain it very well, also I have done it quickly. 20 °C is just warm, 25 °C is very warm to me. But when sitting outside on a sunlit spot 20 °C feels warmer than usual somehow. It warms my hair. I don't feel "very warm" when it's 20 °C inside though. It's not easy to explain. I usually feel warmer outside than inside at the same temperature.

My scale (which took humidity in to account as well)

Note* These are how they would feel if you were in shorts and a T-Shirt

Extremely Cold=37°F/2.8°C or less
Very Cold=38°F/3.3°C to 44°F/6.7°C
Cold=45°F/7.2°C to 51°F/10.6°C
Chilly=52°F/11.1°C to 59°F/15°C
Cool=60°F/15.6°C to 66°F/18.9°C
Mild=67°F/19.4°C to 75°F/23.9°C
Warm=76°F/24.4°C to 82°F/27.8°C
Very Warm=83°F/28.3°C to 88°F/31.1°C
Hot=89°F/31.7°C to 95°F/35°C
Very Hot=96°F/35.6°C to 103°F/39.4°C
Extremely Hot=104°F/40°C or higher

And Cool and Mild are the optimum comfort ranges, Chilly and Warm are slightly uncomfortable and Cold or less and Very Warm or more are generally uncomfortable
