I'm so shocked when I see numerous people on this forum seem to prefer 90's to 80's. Just exactly how thin is your blood? Sheesh...I never would've imagined that anyone on earth preferred 90's to 80's until I read this forum. I can't imagine how anyone loves 90's or 80's because I even find 80's too warm except in the middle of summer. I want my 70's, if you feel chilled in the 70's then you seriously need a doctor
I like 90's in summer. It's just so much more exciting than the bland 80's. One reason is that I like warm evenings and nights, which are obviously more likely when the daytime temp is higher.Having to wear a jumper and be chilled on a January afternoon/evening is simply not on.
I actually think 70 is too warm. I prefer the temp to be below 60, and I'm usually more comfortable/happy in the 20-30 degree range (although lower is even better!).
Today was around 100 here and right now at 10:45 pm it is still 84. Just got back from walking the dog and it feels great out.
Along with low humidity I love this weather.
I don't mind it cooler in the winter as long as the daytime highs are at least in the 60's with occasional days in the 70's or warmer. The town I live in has recorded triple digit days in every month except December and February.
I have had a enough of that four seasons crap to last a lifetime. (grew up in MA)
90s are definitely my cup of tea... living here in San Antonio, you get used to it pretty quickly. In fact, by late September/October, the first days below 90 feel cool... and the first 60s at night are cold!

Really?
Humans are supposed to be 98 F, why do you think it's weird that some of our bodies are better at accepting a little extra heat,
rather than our brain's thinking we need to burn X number of calories to keep our core temp up, regardless of the weather around us.
(The latter is the main reason I believe how anyone could be uncomfortable around 80 F and low humidity)
I feel chilled in under 75 F, not above 75 F, though with A/C coming out of floor vents it's possible for the floor to be in the 60's or lower. My toes HATE IT when my toes skin is less than 75 F; when it is, it mistakingly thinks that I need to conserve body heat and restricts bloodflow.
*Likewise, I'm surprised that it seems most people "can't sleep" if it was only 80 F and say 50-60% humidity indoors.
I mean, 80 F with 50-60% humidity is no warmer than being hugged by their significant other at 70 F,
and I've never heard people complain about someone else's body warmth.
** Hey hun, the kids are fast asleep, you wanna?
No, I'm just comfortable now with our house at 72 F,
but even spending a few minutes next to you and your extra body heat might give me a heat illness.

P.S., there's no real point in my vote, because my answer is simply "YES."
I have a general preference for 75+ F, but give me some socks, shoes and long pants and even low 60's is fine to be out in all day.
