moderate temperatures

Neither hot nor cold

Moderate temperatures are neither hot nor cold—the comfortable middle range where heating and cooling become unnecessary.

The phrase appears in weather forecasts, climate descriptions, and discussions of ideal conditions: The region enjoys moderate temperatures year-round.

What counts as moderate depends on context; for humans, typically between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
