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.

    Damn 26 is toasty. I get hot if it’s 21 in my home. I warm rooms individually but mostly it’s 19 or 20 degrees. I don’t like to go outside and have too much of a difference.

    26°C would likely give me a headache.

    I try to keep the house at around 20°C, and if I’m chilly put a jumper on.

    15C while I’m away, 17C while I’m in. Gas is expensive and my home isn’t that well insulated. I just put on a warm vest and it’s fine by me.

    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 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.

        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

        I have a big old robe, flannel pajama pants, and slippers I wear around the house in the winter.

    58F/14.5C overnight or when I’m not at home, 67F/19.5C during the day.

    Currently working from home, barefoot and in a T-shirt and the thermostat turned down a bit to 65F. I’m feeling quite warm today.

    26C would feel like a sauna to me right now.

    60-68F. It took a week for me to notice my heater was put once, though, so I could go lower. Just don’t want to have to worry about pipes freezing.

      16C to 20C for euronerds.

      For me the same. At my place of work it’s 22C (72F) and it makes me uncomfortable.

    18°, I sometimes push it to 19 if I’m feeling flush.

    My parents are in their 80s and rarely go over 15° on their thermostat (unless I’m there complaining!)

    My dad’s parents only had one heated room in the house, but that one room was heated like an oven to a really uncomfortable temperature 😆

      I’m like your grandparents today. Grew up in DDR, had one heated room: the kitchen. It was also our living room, and on the coldest nights our bedroom. Not heated like an oven though.

      It makes me physically uncomfortable to be in a >18C room in the winter, even today. I know it’s just a psychological thing, probably.

      Exact opposite from my grandparents. They keep it at least 27 in the winter. It makes it very unappealing to visit, and I have to take frequent breaks outside in the snow.

      I assumed that was all old people, since my spouse’s grandparents are the same. Now I’m hoping they’re the exception and most older people aren’t living like lizards in terrariums.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Warm clothes and an electric blanket at night to go to sleep. I keep my body warm not the house.
