    About 17 degrees. Seems to be the sweet spot to keep my Cavalier snoring speed as low as possible without her getting cold.

    Whatever temperature the apartment ends up at 🥲 My cat won’t sleep with the windows closed (insane behavior), and I’m not running heat or air with them open.

    My ideal is 68°F or around 20°C, but kitty gets whatever she wants.

    In a country where thermostats and air conditioners and whatever in your house isn’t really a norm. So like other answers here, just whatever temperature. And I adjust the amount of layers on my bed or that I’m wearing to accommodate. Hot summer nights are the worst.

    The easiest way I find is to memorize the 0/10/20/30C to F conversions, then plus/minus at 2 to 1 from there.

    32 = 0 50 = 10 68 = 20 86 = 30

    70F is ~21C, 54F is ~12C, 81F is ~27.5C.

      This comparison makes Celsius look even harder to use hahaha.

      Only 10 degrees between 68 and 86? That’s either a very nice but chilly day or a hot day

        I’m born and raised in the US, so I grew up on Fahrenheit, but switched my phone to Celsius about 10 years ago because I wanted to better understand the scale and have stuck with it ever since. I really don’t need to know the exact temperature when I check the weather, just an estimate of whether I should dress for “hot”, “cold”, or “mild”. One of the “tricks” I heard early on was similar: 0°C is freezing. 10°C is cold. 20°C is comfortable. 30°C is warm/hot. 40°C is fucking hot.

        Where I grew up it was between 20 and 30 much of the year. Honestly a 10 point warmness scale is quite easy to adjust to.

        I have heard farenheit defenders point out that we’re not water - that farenheit cares about the temperatures that humans care about

    I’d like to keep it at 15, but my room refuses to cool down any further than 20C even with the window open.

    Heating and cooling are expensive at our house so we generally let the temp do what it wants so long as it stays between 64F and 80F. The dehumidifier, though, tends to keep it in the upper end of that range during the summer.

    ~18C but I also like it much colder, but it hardly gets any colder in my bedroom because my partner is always freezing. In summer it’s really hard for me, above 22C is uncomfortable.

    Fractions…

    10C* (9F/5C) + 32F = 50F

    Or

    10/5=2, 2*9=18, 18+32=50

    If you stick to multiples of 5 it’s easy:

    0C - 32F

    5C - 41F

    10C - 50F

    30C - 86F

    35C - 95F

    40C - 104F

    68F in the winter, 72F in the summer

    I’d personally go lower in the winter, but the rest of my family disagrees

    It varies by season. In summer, typically 24 on ‘dry’ mode to pull out as much humidity as possible. In the winter, on nights that fall below 16 (Japanese homes have shit insulation), I’d set the heater to somewhere between 16-20 depending upon how cold I felt on that particular day. These days (spring), we’re not using anything at night, really.
