Sleeping is very easy, I even get chilly at night so I sleep with a duvet. My indoor temperature is about 27 C (80 F).
Wow! OuO 27 °C! That's 2 degrees higher than a quite strongly heated house. Then of course you find 20 °C cold! That would be like if I had 13 °C in my house, bbbbbb... >_<
So, so far the ideal temperature to eat something sitting outside is between 20 °C and 30 °C, which is fine, even though I don't like the upper half. I can even do that at 15 °C, if it's sunny and windless.

Today it's probably 26 because of all the clouds outside, basically I have my AC set to turn on at that temperature.
And as I type you this it's a bit chilly with all the wind coming into my place (I live in a high rise condominium) from my open balcony and the storm/frontal clouds.

It's a bit chilly, yes.

For a tropical climate
I don't know what the opinion of someone who always lived in, say, double the latitude of Tropic of Cancer (like Bourges, France) would be. Or someone who always lived in a place with double the latitude of Miami (like Eindhoven, Netherlands), I think that person would find 20 °C a normal temperature.
So, it's really nice to hear different opinions. Not everyone thinks in the same way.
Of course, we're all humans, so we've got limits (we can't survive in temperatures, like, -150 °C or +150 °C without space suits LOL).
You are slightly off. The latest NOAA 30 year climate avg has Miami avg high (airport data) 76.4/59.9F.
And the running 30 year running avg is 76.6/61F.
For some reason I thought it was 75.9F, 76.4F=24.6C which I guess is closer to 25C. On the other hand that means that Miami Beach's January average high is a full 3F closer than that of MIA
If you noticed, wikipedia explained that it is not a real Italian expression (in particular not the spelling "alfresco", just terrible...). It seems more like an Italo-american expression.
From the page you posted:
Quote:
The phrase al fresco is borrowed from Italian for "in the cool [air]", but is not used in that language to refer to dining outside. Instead, Italians use the phrases fuori or all'aperto.[3] In Italian, the expression al fresco usually refers to spending time in jail.
Anyway, returning to the topic, it depends.
For example in this period of the year I like to have lunch outdoor under the sun (direct or half-shade) with temperatures of more or less 17-22°C.
If it is warmer I prefer to remain under an umbrella or something like that. Of course this is referred to lunch, the "sun problem" doesn't apply to dinner because we have dinner after sunset even during the summer (I have dinner more or less at 7-8 PM).
Talking about summer, usually I have dinner outdoor with 25-27°C and some breeze (if you are along the sea it can be also a little bit warmer and it still fells pleasant). It can seem too warm, but compared to the high temps that we have at noon it is already a relief, in particular if you already have 27-28°C in your bedroom. Of course the first thing we want to order is an ice cream - gelato
During the summer instead it is not so pleasant to have lunch outdoor, at least if you are not along the seaside under an umbrella or above 1500 m on the mountains

I have dinner at 7:30 P.M.
25-27 °C is on the upper edge of "warm-hot", I usually tend to stay inside where it's cooler. I can't stay for more than two hours outside at 27 °C.
In my bedroom the temperature doesn't go above 23 °C, so it's my "haven".
I don't eat ice cream at 27 °C, it will melt too fast, without being able to eat it.
Usually, the upper limit for eating ice cream is 20 °C, anything higher and it will melt too quickly.
I usually eat warm soups when it's hot.
1500 meters is a good altitude, a place with 30 °C as an average high at sea level will usually have 20 °C as an average high at 1500 meters. The problem is finding a city above 10,000 inhabitants at 1500 meters.
Isn't 28 °C in a bedroom unhealthy? I think you can get ill with those temperatures in the long run.
Don't you have A/C?
