warm temperatures

Comfortable outdoor conditions

Warm temperatures are readings on a thermometer that fall between cool and hot—comfortable enough to go without heavy clothing but not sweltering.

The phrase appears in weather forecasts, climate discussions, and casual conversation: We're expecting warm temperatures this weekend.

What counts as warm varies by context and expectation—fifty degrees feels warm in February, cool in July.
