What temperature do you consider to be "hot"?

[LuvCuteBoys]

Inspired by the "driving with the windows open" thread...

If you say, "it's hot out" what temperature would it have to be?

For me, once it hits 75º I'm done. If it's not too humid I guess I could make it to 80º but definitely nothing over that. By the end of the summer I'm usually a little better with 80º weather, but I'd still prefer it to be a lot cooler. Like 25º

I went with 95. 90 isn't too bad as long as there's a breeze, which there usually is here. Another clarification around here is being in or out of the sun. In the shade seems a good 5 degrees cooler.

I would say 90. Heat really doesn't bug me...it's humidity that does. So it could be 100 and I won't think it's hot...but if it's 80 and the dew point is 70...then it is hot.

But I won't turn on my a/c until its about 90 out. Now, DH on the other hand, turns it on if it gets over 80 and it drives me NUTS!!!

85 - 90 degrees if humidity is high. In New Mexico, the heat didn't bother me until it was over 100.

 

[jackemail]

Starts to get hot at 95...lower than that (unless the humidity is high) is tolerable.

I must have anitfreeze flowing through my veins, because I think you guys are nuts LOL

I dont even pull out the capris until it is at least 75. For shorts I'm looking at 85+

Even then I wouldn't say hot. I agree that humidity plays a roll 90 in Denver is much more comfortable to me than 90 in Orlando. 90 in Denver & we still are outside. When we lived in Orlando that would be hide in the air conditioning weather.

Of course my air is set at 78 & I get cold when it is blowing.

85 with no humidity and over is hot. If you factor in humidity-sometimes 65 is hot. In the spring, shorts usually come out here around 60-65 degrees and don't go away until it is that temp again in the fall. Winter coats come out when it is 20 or so, before then spring/fall coats with a sweater is fine.

If it's not humid, 90+ is hot.

With humidity, 80+.

I'll take anything under 100. When we hit 100 then you start hearing me complain...but before that I'm usually fine.

 

[disneyofcourse]

It's the humidity that gets me every stinkin' time. If it's 90 and low humidity I'd be fine.

 

[Pakey]

It's over 100 here all summer. So I'd say anything over 100.

 

[Carrie_Cat]

Over 86 here (near enough Paris, France) but we don't have AC in homes, cars, public transport and work so you just have to get on with it.

On holiday in countries with AC where you aren't running around on public transport and working say 100 easily

Having grown up in the heat island of Atlanta, I'm accustomed to 90 and high humidity, but there is some mental block about 95 degrees to me (that's when the weather men start hitting you over the head with heat index stuff). I can handle the heat much better on the shore because of the breezes, but in the middle of Atlanta, it just pisses me off.

 

[Thundergod]

Definately depends on humidity for me. east of interstate 35 it's hot above 75 degrees. West I would have to say 85. I met in the middle.

 

[Rora]

As a Florida girl, I don't start to notice the heat until it hits the upper 80s and 90s.

 

[MiniGirl]

It just depends. We're on the water here and always have a little breeze, so low 90s really isn't that bad. However, that same temp just 90 miles east of here at WDW is much worse.

Also, I will say that I like the humidity. We recently took a trip to Arizona. I was lovely but just too dry for us. My girls developed nose bleeds and my hands started to crack and bleed. We like having some moisture in the air, but will admit that we don't like it when it is super humid.

85 in California was wonderful. Anything over 85 here in NC is humid and nasty.

Here in Seattle, the shorts come out at 65 and people start hiding in the air conditioned coffee shops and complaining once it hits 75. 85 rarely happens, but when it does, it's the end of the world.

We turn on the A/C when it gets above 80 outside for more than a few days. As many others have said, the level of humidity is the key. I can go outside and be fine in 90 degree heat as long as there is a breeze and the humidity is low. But 75 can feel horrible if the air is sticky and stagnant.

One of the major reasons I won't go to WDW between mid-May and mid-October is the high humidity. When I walk outside in the morning, my glasses fog up, I start to sweat, and I feel like someone just wrapped me in a wet towel, it is too humid. Yuck!!
