26°C for me. I live with my son & he enjoys wearing as little as possible at home. Cold also makes him feel depressed. I’m alright with both hot and cold.
Bro, what the hell… some people are recreating the Caribbean in their houses while some others try to contribute the least amount possible to climate change. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Maybe OP isn’t properly informed of the energy usage and climate impact of his lifestyle. Some countries do very little to teach this unfortunately.
In France, a few years ago, there was a very large campaign for this exact topic to prevent energy usage spikes that could have brought the grid down. It also served as a way to teach people that 19 is just fine in the winter.
Well at least this rebuke will have a chilling effect.
Jesus Christ 26 would be hot even in the summer
Right? That’s what I’d set my AC to. It’s a balmy 18 in my place now and -4 outside. Problem the lack of daylight leasing to the depression. Pop some vitamin d and put a sweater on. Cozy warm clothes are the best clothes.
18c or 64F?
I was thinking the exact same. I feel wasteful in the summer for keeping it at 23 (73 F). I don’t think I could survive 26 in the winter. Maybe if I had never left Florida, but I doubt it.
During the day usually at 66°F (19°C), maybe bump it up to 68°F (20°C) if we’re feeling unusually chilly still. At night we usually drop it down to 62/63°F (around 17°C).
Holy fuck. Are you all just hanging out in your house wearing your winter coats all day or something? I can’t imagine how uncomfortable that must be
I mean a hoodie and sweat pants and I’m good in those temperatures. I find it easier to warm up than to cool off.
I also heat to like 18-20°C. Just wearing a hoodie is more than enough, most of the time. And for extra warmth while couching maybe a blanket. 26°C would be uncomfortably warm to me, even in just a tshirt. That’s summer temperatures. Above 20°-ish are tshirt temps.
I keep mine at 55-61 F depending on humidity. Hoodie, pants, slippers is all I need.
I have a big old robe, flannel pajama pants, and slippers I wear around the house in the winter.
In winter it’s a very normal thing to be a little cold. If every household on the planet aimed for 26 while it’s 0 outside, the energy needed would to heat up would be gigantic.
As someone else said, you just need some warm clothes and socks and you’re fine at 19 degrees.
Edit : not a parent, so I don’t know if it’d fine for children
21 C, bedrooms at 19 C
22 or 23°c and 19 for the bedrooms too
26!? Do you live in hell? I start sweating at 19 and at 22 I’m stripping off to my underwear
19-20°C. Any warmer and I’m melting
Warm clothes and an electric blanket at night to go to sleep. I keep my body warm not the house.
I don’t really have a choice as heat is provided by my building, and they just keep it on at all times. So in winter it’s pretty much always around 26/27C except when it gets really cold outside and it “drops” a bit. I do like the heat but it’s a bit too much. Sometimes I have to open a window. 24C would suffice.
They even keep the heat on in summer so it can rise up to 35C during sunny days, but I have a portable AC to fight the building’s system and bring it back down to a “cool” 24/25C.
That’s a crime against the environment.
It’s good to see Helll is finally renting apartments to the general public, with this housing market.
26-27°C is already at the edge of becoming unbearably warm in summer. But 35? Where I live that’s a “hottest week of the year” kind of temperature. I‘d cook to death in my own sweat.
Ew. I couldn’t imagine not being able to control my own thermostat.
26C would make me wake up so hot I’d be vomiting I think
We’re usually at 67F at night, 68 to 70F during the day, but I’m baking so the extra 2 degrees from 68 to 70 is usually from the oven.
74F (23C) I grew up in Florida, which is a very warm state. Now I live a good bit farther north, but my body never adjusted to the cold weather. Nice in the summer, as I don’t need the A/C, but the bills in the winter are rough.
65 F or 18.5 C. A little colder at night. It varies as my wife sleeps hot so it depends how warms she is feeling that evening.
A comfortable 16c. 18 if I really want it to get hot.
17 C. I find it comfortable even when lightly dressed. My wife dresses more warmly.
17 C here as well. I used to find it comfortable but as I get older, I’m needing more and more clothes or blankets. I blame my thinning hair.
26°C people represent!
Might be smart to check your son’s iodine, T4-hormone, and maybe T3 levels, as iodine affects the thyroid (body’s thermostat valve) and T4 is produced by it to be partly converted into T3 elsewhere. T4 and T3 activate heating. If not low, try some tyrosine or iodine anyway.
I have some gut illness with malabsorption, so the above over-the-counter tricks don’t help much. I’m also skinny and can’t gain weight. If suspecting bad gut, test for food intolerances by mediator release test or immunoglobulin G (expect false positives and negatives), or try an elimination diet (like rice and meat only for a month).
All rooms have their own thermostat. 19-21°C.
I’d go colder at night, but we have a newborn who doesn’t do blankets yet. Need to keep it kind of even for her sleeping bags.
