Well according to the BBC weather app it is currently 3 degrees C or
37F where I am and it definately feels it.
I just turned the central heating up and put it on so it comes on all night.
My aunt just asked for an extra quilt.

Can you imagine putting on winter clothes at 37 degrees celsius?
They encouraged people not to convert by constantly translating it into Fahrenheit, so the only thing I remember was a day in the 30's was going to be a hot day to fish. (We used to go in August, so not like there weren't mostly days in the 30's.)
What's room temperature/just right to you? It's been many decades since I've been to Canada, so I have no memory of that. Although, I do remember the pot belly stove was lit right before we went to bed, and I was glad Dad was an early-bird, so he relit it in the morning. making it just right by the time I got out of bed. (Still had to go to an outhouse, which was always the worst part of our vacations, until I was old enough to qualify for "the ladies' outhouse" -- the only one with a flush toilet. lol)

I used to go to Canada fishing every summer thankfully. They converted to the metric system somewhere along the line. If that never happened, that chill that just went through my body over the temps you gave would never go away. 32 degrees is freezing in Fahrenheit, so, brrrr -- 3-37?

Room temparature, well it depends if in jeans/t-shirt I would say about 20-21c degrees.
If wearing something warmer then a bit lower, I also can't sleep in a room unless it's below
20 degrees as I get too warm to sleep.
The thing is my aunt likes it above 22 degrees so at home I pretty much wear sleeveless
shirts and thin trousers. Also as the heat rises through the house I don't bother to put
the heating on in my bedroom at all even in winter.
Maybe I'm just hot blooded.
Re temperature when it's really cold the met office uses centigrade to emphasise it
so the will say it is -5 centigrade, whereas in summer they use Fahrenheit to emphasise
how hot is it like 80F
We are strange people.

At my workplace in the Uk it was really cold in the morning and way too warm at the end of the day
they could never get it right, not even when we moved buildings to a new one and got a smaller room.
and there were no windows one could open (I suspect they did it all to torment us )
I too prefer about 22C indoors, at least winter- time

Here in the state of Minnesota, if you're not talking about the weather you're talking about the road conditions, because anything else is too personal .
There's a little saying here: "don't like the weather? that's ok. Wait five minutes."

The place I work is a green house, each floor is one big open plan office with large
windows on all sides. No air condition, we do have radiators but those sat
near them complain it is too hot in winter, while those sat nearer the middle of the
office complain it is too cold.
In summer due to all those windows it is often 10-15 degrees hotter inside than it
is outside, we all just melt.

Fan for when it's too hot in a bedroom. I need th covers over my shoulder, so the fan is on most nights, until a/c weather.

I have. I have no memories of the roads but the "Welcome to" sign and the "Welcome to Illinois" sign at the end of the highway. To me that means they're reasonable roads.
Dad's from Syracuse. They're snowy roads. (We hit a pocket of blizzards going up the day before Dad's wedding while the weather station said "possibility of flurries." We hit the same blizzard when we left while listening to the same forecast. It was snowing so hard, we had to pull over because we couldn't see the front of the car. After our hearts got out of our throats we had no choice but to keep going. I think that storm just sat there all year long. lol
And then there are Philly roads. Whose bright idea is it to put an entrance lane on an overly crowded expressway with a yield sign on the SPEED LANE?
The only time I can get on easily is when there's a traffic jam, and half the time I go on that ramp there's a traffic jam. lol

It's been said that the Brits are obsessed by the weather, yes it's
true!
I just wondered if anyone else was, do you complain as much about the
weather as we do?
So here is the crazy Yorshire weather for today.
8.30am brilliant blinding sunshine and blue skies.
11.00am ish - dark clouds, rain, hail stones the size of large peas.
12.45pm ish - snow, yes you heard correct snow, blizzard in fact and it started
to lay.
2pm ish - back to sunshine again.
2.30 - rain by the bucket load.
18.38 - as we speak brilliant dazzling sunshine
true!

@Depleted You, ma'am, are very wrong. The year of 2015 was very quiet hurricane-wise because of the strongest El Nino on record. Please note, accurate weather records have been kept since to 1950s. The El Nino would break apart hurricanes because of the upper level Jetstream and Windshear. However, the El Nino died this past spring, leaving the coastlines quite vulnerable to any storm. Forecasters are predicting a hot and dry summer. The heat will super-heat the ground, causing an almost unlimited supply of fuel, and stalled high pressure systems over the northern Atlantic will not allow a hurricane to "just die out at sea." High pressure would direct a storm towards shore, and with a super-heated surface, it would thrive. Ill give you an example. In 1938, A hurricane formed off the coast of Africa. It moved north, striking the Bahamas, and causing Damage. The National Weather Bureau (changed to National Weather Service in 1970) forecast the storm to travel north, missing the US completely because, "Thats always what happened." They issued an alert for the East Coast, that all ships should remain in port. After the hurricane past Florida, they didnt really know where it was because the only weather tools they had were a thermometer, and a barometer and mariners relayed weather messages back to them. And since they had requested all ships to put into port, there were no observations of the storm. What they didnt know was that 2 High Pressure systems were stalled. One over the Allegheny Mountains, and one about 50-100 miles North of Bermuda. When the Hurricane reached this, it shot through the trough moving 60-80 MPH. A speed that many people have never seen. The summer of '38 was hot and dry, so when the storm reached New England, it reacted as if it was still travelling over water. In the wake of the storm, 300-500 people were dead, and billions of dollars of damage was caused. So yes, it can happen. And it has. Weather people have an incredibly tough job, so I got offended when people talk bad about them. No one can be 100% sure about the weather. It is constantly changing. And if you are arrogant, and not respective of it, it WILL kill you.

Maybe you have this.
Thalassophobia Greek: thalassa, "sea" and φόβος, phobos, "fear")[SUP][1][/SUP] is an
intense and persistent fear of the sea.[SUP][2][/SUP] Thalassophobia is a clinical phobia
generally classified under specific phobias, fear of a single specific panic
trigger. Symptoms for thalassophobia are the same as for most specific
phobias.
Although it is a clinical phobia, it often accompanies other anxiety disorders.
In some cases anxiolytic medications may be prescribed or Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT) may be indicated.
Thalassophobia can include fear of being in large bodies of water, fear of the
vast emptiness of the sea, and fear of distance from land.[SUP][3][/SUP] Thalassophobes
may also be afraid of encountering sea creatures rather than the sea itself.[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP]

The weather is something I have studied for 10 years. In those 10 years, I have seen many things, good and bad, but mainly bad. People need to listen to the weather reports, and follow it closely. Thats why Katrina was such a night mare. People didnt listen. They were too cocky. That cockyness killed hundreds.
