Most people are comfortable in the 70(21C) degree range. It get hot
here in summer and I'm comfortable at 77 during the day, 73 when I go to
bed.

In winter I turn on heat if it drops below 68

Also depends on what you are used to. The locals are comfy working
outdoors at 95 when I hide inside by the AC. They bundle up at 45 in
winter and I will put on a light jacket but still wear shorts.
