Imagine the temperature at which you consider it almost too cold for a sweatshirt. The point at which you seriously consider switching to a jacket that is warmer than a sweatshirt, or consider wearing thermals under you sweatshirt, or however you deal with that temperature.
Now imagine that is the temperature at which almost everyone you know tries to keep their house almost all year.
Oh, I got it. And I didn't mean to imply you are crazy, just that it's wacky and interesting to note how different people are in this way.
For me, I feel you can always put on more clothes but if you get too hot, you're just screwed, especially when wearing next to nothing isn't enough to offset the temp.
I used to travel on the Ren Fest circuit and there was one year at a festival in the Dallas area where the whole last week we were there, it was about 100 degrees with 80 to 100% humidity. To me, that's just horribly draining and uncomfortable. It's probably going to be like that much of my time in Hong Kong/China when I go there in late July, that's the main aspect I'm not looking forward to.
I always thought you would like it here. It doesn't go below 90 or so for 3 or 4 months of the year, and it is always very, very humid. I don't like huge temperature changes so I set my air conditioner to about 28C (82F) and run it in 1 hr increments. (i.e. long enough to dry the sweat.) Work is another story, however, because our little office has no ventilation, so we either have to open the window and let in the sickening smells of dog food and fermenting soy beans, or we have to turn on the air conditioner which we can't set any higher than 25C (77F) which is pretty cold when you're used to higher temps.

Well, not the dog food smell vs. cold, but the rest sounds wonderful to me. ;)
