warmness
Soft, comfortable temperature
Warmness is the quality of being warm—moderate heat, or figuratively, friendliness and affection.
The word exists but rarely appears; warmth handles nearly all its work.
You might encounter warmness in technical contexts measuring temperature, but the warmness of her greeting sounds awkward where the warmth of her greeting feels natural.
