Not if you have a heated pool.

What about when you get out of the water? Wouldn't you rather it be warm than cool?

Well, I'm not likely to be uncomfortable getting out of the pool in 65 degree weather. If it's in the 40s or 50s, then that's a different story.

65 is a nice temp in the sun where there is no wind. A LOT of winter days in San Diego are 65 and it's very nice except when there is a breeze or in the shade, then it gets too chilly imo.

A hot, dry 85 degrees is just about right for me (an extra 5-10 degrees would also be fine).

Why?

Because I like hot weather, I guess.

I like it between 60-65 partly cloudy, virtually no wind. Clear and low 50`s at night.

I voted 83 but really anything in the upper 70's thru upper 80's is perfect. I love being outside on a nice warm night.

Something just below room temperature, in the 65 range.

I sweat profusely from my scalp and large portions of my body when it gets above 75 and I'm wearing more than a t-shirt. If I'm doing something moderately physically exerting, like riding a bike or dancing, I get totally drenched (as in, it looks like I took a shower on any article of clothing touching my skin). Thankfully, since my body produces so much sweat it's pretty dilute and doesn't smell too bad, but it's still gross and I prefer to live a sweat-free life as much as possible.

I said 50. I find that pretty ideal for an average. Anything from 20 to 75 is pretty okay though.

75-85

Anything over that is getting hot.
