Temperature extremes don't sit well with me. I do not like bone-chilling cold. I also do not like sweating-the-minute-you-walk-out-the-door heat. I prefer my temperature range to be, oh say 60 - 80 degrees. Yes, that would work well for me.
Having lived my entire life in either Indiana or southern California, I have never enjoyed my optimal temperature range (my OTR). And of course, beyond the temperature being what it is these days there is the humidity to complain about. And the heat-index (I don't remember having that measurement of discomfort back in the day). And no-zone action day alerts. And what sun-screen number I should apply before going outside during daylight hours.
Here's what I would propose for weather-reporting types: No matter what the temperature really is, report it as being between 60 and 80 degrees. Do NOT report the dew-point, the heat-index, the humidity, the wind-chill factor...nor any of the other fancy ways you have of making me feel miserable. Just keep it simple and let's see if I can adjust better to my surroundings.
Please. It is very imprtant to me to live within my OTR!
And, if you knew me well, it would be important to you, too!
