Rentals in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and ACT dropped below 18C more than 80% of the time, report finds
18C = 64.4F
You’re an American hero
18C is like perfect cuddle temp.
I was about to double down on the wtf Australia but then my brain started working and I remembered that June and July is winter in Australia
Also what kind of sample size is 75 participants? Maybe they went to the space heater isle of a hardware store and handed out pamphlets
ACT rentals had the lowest average minimum temperatures at a chilly 7.4C. They were only slightly colder than rental homes in Tasmania, which tracked at an average of 7.5C degrees. The average minimum indoor temperature in Victoria was 9.8C and in NSW it was 10.5C.
That’s the more important part. Dropping below 18°C sounds like it’s in the 15-18 range. But temps well below 10°C is another story.
I am not sure how often these homes get close to their minimum temperature. But apparently some can’t even get their room temperature above 18°C with a heater running.
If 18’s the limit, I’m below that most days, and perfectly comfortable. I just wear a jacket if I need to, with a blanket over my legs if it’s particularly cold, and I’m nice and cosy.
I’m sure Australians don’t mind, I find 18c too hot indoors still. I’d love a house that stays below 18c.
Australians are used to heat. You take someone from the desert and put them in Sweden and they will feel a lot more cold than someone from Sweden.
We fucking mind.
I’m freezing my area off every fucking day, frequently waking up at night because I’m so fucking cold and my 3rd blankets slipped down too far.
I just want a nice low to mid 30s.
