It’s said in the same manner as a mild sarcasm. I’m not sure the word for it, but deliberate understatement that specifically plays on it being hotter than ‘warm’ is.
As far as 20/68 being chilly, to me it’s downright hellish. During the summer, we would keep the house temps around 85/30, because you’d be so used to the sweat and heat of the sun that it wasn’t too bad with a light fan… and that was in the houses lucky enough to have heating/cooling. The rest just made do with shade and designs that promoted a breeze.
Anyway, as I said, this is a hot climate’s weather terms. If you were able to keep the room temperature the same as the outside in spring or autumn, you probably aren’t in a hot climate.
We have long stretches of 90/32+ and high humidity in the Summer and long stretches of <30/-1 in Winter. And our Spring and Autumn are both notoriously ephemeral, so those rules only apply for a few days to a week most years.
90+ is cute. ;) I once lived in an apartment without AC because a roommate and I were trying to get out on our own. I went up there early to start working during the summer, and the city set its record for longest period where it never (even at night) got below 90. I was working for some rich girls with horses, so the days freaking sucked, and the only relief I got was the short showers. I think we usually hit 90 during the day by february. I’ve moved away because screw all that. I can’t imagine what it’s like now as the average temperatures keep climbing.
Without being specific (some family is still there and it’s small enough I’m identifiable by this account), it’s near the tropic of cancer, and a pretty decent sized body of water.
