coldish

Mildly low temperature

Coldish means somewhat cold or tending toward cold without being fully so.

It describes temperatures, weather, or sensations that are noticeably cool but not extreme: It's coldish out today—you might want a light jacket.

The suffix -ish softens the assessment, suggesting the speaker finds conditions chilly but not dramatically so.
