Not sure whether “hot or not” is slightly more or less informative than “it’s 80 degrees,” as temperature values were assigned based on expansion of a liquid in a narrow tube. Celsius assigned zero to the freezing point of water, and 100 for its boiling point (At sea level, do you live there?). I don’t know how Fahrenheit came up with 32 and 212 (again sea level), but its wider range is ‘more’ useful for discussing comfort levels. And then there’s “feels like” which is just a way of saying “it’s not as comfortable as you expect.”

Need an updated version of the saying, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

Another advantage of a modern AC: works as a dehumidifier. In cases where you can cool down during night you can thus prevent mold effectively.

My definitions are “cold” if below 53, “hot” if above 83. 53-83F is perfect. That’s roughly 12-28C outside the US.

We didn’t have a heat index or wind chill when I was young.

83 is good for a high temperature this time of year, but not for a low.

“Muggy” was the word when I was a boy. Or “sticky” or “phew”.
