If its above 77 F, then its hot. My room temperature is always between 77 F In summer and 61 F in winter.
I don't think American life style is the norm. When I just came to the US (Texas actually) in August, I had to walk out of the building every 30 minutes to warm up, because I felt freezing.
In many European countries there is no air conditioner in office buildings or home buildings, but people work normally when room temperature hits 80 F. Not really too hot if you get used to it.
61 in winter is a little low for me though. Usually I do 68 F.
Mid-West can be much more worse than Miami in heat index !
Yes, but as it's been said 4367834856743584368 times (yes, I counted) in the Midwest heat bursts like these are short-lived and fleeting, in Miami it lasts 5-6 months.
Dew points rarely go below 60 in the summer. Last summer it was high 60's/low 70's most of the time. Even if the temperature isn't too hot that feels nasty.
do points in the 60s isn't humid and dew points in the lower 70s is only mildly humid.
