The reason why I threw 50 in as mild is I can be in a sweatshirt and shorts or pants and not be shivering as long as I am already used to cooler temps.
Cold: < 10 C / 50 F
Cool: 10 - 15 C / 50 - 59 F
Mild: 16 - 20 C / 61 - 68 F
Warm: 21 - 27 C / 70 - 81 F
Hot: > 27 C / > 81 F
Night
-----
Cold: < 5 C / < 41 F
Cool: 5 - 10 C / 41 - 50 F
Mild: 11 - 15 C / 52 - 59 F
Warm: 16 - 20 C / 61 - 68 F
Hot: > 20 C / > 68
Note that these ranges take into account wind chill and humidity. Also note that these ranges are based on what I'm used to in my climate -- if we have an 18 C / 65 F overnight low forecast everyone says what a warm night it's going to be, whereas most of you probably wouldn't consider that an especially warm night. So it's all relative -- I've experienced 26 C / 79 F overnight lows overseas and didn't find it 'hot' as it was still comfortable to sleep in.
Daytime: (Subtract 20 degrees for Winter, 70F is cold in the Summer but feels like Heaven in the Winter)
Mild: 74-83 degrees
Warm: 84+ degrees
Hot*: 110+
*I'm rarely ever hot, mostly every time I've been hot the heat index was over 110 and I was doing a lot of activity and was thirsty/tired (ex: theme parks in Central Florida and walking around all day).
Nighttime:
Mild: 67-76 degrees
Warm: 77-83 degrees
Hot: 84+ degrees
I know how it feels to sleep in low-90's, I love heat but it's not fun at all.
location: Cebu, central Philippines - tropical climate
mild : 82°F(28°C) day / 70°F(21°C) night
warm : 86°F(30°C) day / 73°F(23°C) night
hot : 94°F(34°C) day / 77°F(25°C) night
notice how close the difference is between hot and mild? since the difference between january and july temperatures in my place is only 3°F so our body is acclimatised to only a short range of temperature.
btw it rarely gets to 96°F here and anything lower than 82/70 day/night is cold for me!
For me, currently living in central highlands of Brazil, it is:
Mild - Day 64-73F Night - in the 50's
Warm - Day 74-85 F - high 60's
Hot - Day 86 and plus - above 70 F
If I were back to NY or Mexico City, the answers would have been very different.
