It's been mid 70s here in the day and mid 50s at night just about all summer so far. Bought two window air conditioners but never bothered to install them. We open windows at night and close them in the day.

I generally try for 18-19c in winter, and I usually see 24c in summer, though the AC can bring this down to about 21 most of the time. With the AC off, it's more like 26-28.
I'd keep the windows open more, but climate change has been causing massive wildfires where the air is too unhealthy to breathe....
During summer 78-80. 78 is for husband. But prefer windows open as much as possible. Winter 70 or so. 75 if I’m really feeling like being a little less uncomfortable and paying out the ass for it.
I’m weird though. I generally think 80ish is my happy place.
I let visitors change it at will, but I always keep it above the minimum temperature for water to evaporate as a temperature reference.
77F - day 75F - night.
73 in spring, summer, and fall. 67 in the winter.
I do 26c, my partner likes 24c.
Hah, thermostat
I'm the top floor apartment
My AC is set to 70f, it's currently 82f inside at about 0100.
My bedroom is 85f
If it could do the job I'd have it set to 75f and ideally keep it there but unfortunately I have to set it to 70 because the area near (like within a meter) the AC gets cold enough to get it to kick off any higher while the apartment cooks
76F summer 74F winter
24°C / 75°F during summer, 20°C / 68°F during winter.
Summer for ac it is about 76f
75f if it gets extra humid for some reason then we’ll push it down by one degree
But at night 78f for the ac.
Although if it’s nice outside we’ll turn it off and open windows.
Winter it’s 69 or 72 for during the day depending on a few factors. If I’m just sitting working in the computer it’s closer to 72 but up and moving around maybe 69.
66 f at night
Btw I’m in Minnesota US.
We don't have a set temperature for all year, that seems silly to me. The outside temperature, the price of electricity/gas, the energy efficient of your house, so many variables...
Apologies for not converting, but in the winter we stick to the mid to high 60s when it's in the 40s or below outside. For the summer if it's getting into the high 90s or low 100s we have to go up to the high 70s to avoid going broke on electricity.
PS go clean out the heat exchange fins on your compressor outside, sometimes animals or weather will clog them up with debris which kills the efficiency of the compressor.
Programmed for 19C during the day and ramping up to 21C at night.
16C flat at all other times.
Whatever my renting company sets it at.
It usually is around 20-21C
Summer: 73 during the day, 78 at night.
Winter: 65 all the time
