I usually like the teens to mid 20's Celsius… no idea the conversion to Fahrenheit but anything as hot as what you have now would just destroy my desire to move... I'd just be melted puddle of sweat. I also burn really easily so if it's super hot/sunny out I end up having to wear long sleeves and pants which makes the heat worse.

Yeah, that's about my range too...15-25 C is 60-77 F. It's comfortable enough inside, until the power grid is strained around 12pm-4pm and the AC doesn't work as well ;( (of course, right in the middle of the day when it's hottest). It's supposed to reach upwards of 46 C here this week, so we're definitely staying indoors. It definitely kills my will to live, I absolutely hate hot weather, but we moved here for my partner's new job, so we gotta do what we gotta do! Also, the humidity here (70%+ on most days) makes it literally impossible to sweat, so...it's much worse than you think. Your body has no way of cooling itself when it's hot but also extremely humid, unlike in more arid climates. Basically, I just bring a huge bottle of water anywhere I go and hope I don't faint ;) I'm also sensitive to the sun, I burn almost immediately ;( Eventually I'll get a tan, but only after I've passed through the critical cancer-inducing stage ;(
