I would like 30 tropical nights per year. Where I live we get a 20+ C low once every few years. I wish we got them more often. There's nothing better than sitting outside in shorts under the moonlight. It was 29 C / 85 F after midnight here a few years ago and I was in heaven. Went for a walk on the beach and it was really nice.
I've experienced tropical climates with 95% humidity 75+ F lows and was surprised by how pleasant it was. Sleeping in an open-air hut (Fale) with just a thin sheet as a blanket was very comfortable.
That said, I would probably prefer lows of 15 - 20 C to provide some sense of contrast.
I would like 40-50 lows above 20C every year, with at least 15 of those above 25C. Obviously that ain't gonna happen here....
"Tropical nights" and Melbourne don't go hand in hand..... Sydney does much better, 20C nights are routine in summer unlike here although the frequency tapers off severely above about 22C.
Indoor temp ranged from upper 60s (67-69) all day. Woke up to low 60s..About 62°
64°F inside now. I'm comfortable but a few days ago when it happened as the first morning of cold weather I found too chilly and wrapped a blanket around me.
All depends on how humid it is at bed time. I will vote 'C' as I like temps to be around 70 inside when I go to bed. During the day it could get to anywhere between 76- 86 and it would be fine.
I'm like this as well, can tolerate the heat when I'm up and about but like it cool when sleeping. Don't enjoy going to sleep when the house is still boiling after a hot day and the temperature is still near 30C at bed time, ideally it should cool rapidly after sunset on the really hot days.
If the cut off is just 68 then thats not bad. That's about average for June July and August here. Once you get to 75 for a low I'm out. That's when leaving just after sunrise for 8am class is not fun. It's still warm at that point (with a dew point near 70). But 68 isn't bad. With A/C haha. My favorite lows are in the mid 60s so I'd take 180 nights at 68. I can't do all year cause I like variability and slightly cooler nights but lows in the mid to low 50s and below I hate.
