If I set my winter evening thermostat to 14C my wife would have my head on a spike in the front lawn. Police be damned.
We keep it at 22C as a compromise during the day and 19 at night (since we sleep better in the cold).

I live offgrid in a campervan and do not have HVAC in the normal sense. I follow mild weather, aiming for daily highs of 65-70deg F. Because I camp in arid regions this usually means overnight lows of 35-45F. I try to avoid overnight freezes for comfort and to protect my water system.
My roof vent is set to 65F (comes on then and tries to hold that temp). The LiFePO4 battery bank is warmed to 50F. At night I use an electric blanket and dogbuddy to stay warm if needed.
what you're doing is what I want to do - do you have any suggestions for links to/communities on lemmy or other federated platforms? liked vandwellers back on reddit a lot but cant find something similar here.
my rig is a 1987 Ford/Grumman Kabmaster, it's been in the shop for a while now.
18C . We live in a condo building that is well insulated so setting it any lower wouldn't help. I agree, it's preferable to sleep when it's cooler. 24C in winter is insane - if you're cold just put on a jersey or a fleece.
68-72F during the day
60-63F at night
In the US south . . . just happy to get to turn the AC off for 6-8 weeks lol
24C is bonkers
Hahaha not sure where you are exactly, but my memory of Houston and Corpus Christi involves using my arms to swim through the air - the heat and humidity was suffocating; the air was so thick! Sunglasses fogging up instantly when you step outside from an air-conditioned room.
We regularly see 110F here Down Under in our south, but it's a dry heat. You can at least spend the day outside getting stuff done.
Your memory is very good. We are 100+ this week with that humidity, it is brutal outside. I'll take the dry heat/cold any day, Australia/NZ is on my travel list!
In the winter, I'll accept 23C anything colder and I catch a cold.
