Prompted by discussion elsewhere, and the Skíathos blog.
Back in the UK I have a simple formula.
0 is freezing, so anything below that beware.
0-10 is cold
10-20 is mild
20+ is hot
Anything over 30 is record-breaking territory (I think the record in Yorkshire is c.35, and U.K.-wide it's under 40).
When abroad for a beach holiday, I'd be a little disappointed with anything under 25, but once past 35 I think we're in 'potentially uncomfortable' territory.
Over 40 and I start to consider being confined to (air conditioned) quarters.
Or the bar, obviously.
You?

I find there is no such thing as too hot. There are just two temperatures, cold and comfy.

There's definitely 'too hot' for me, though the upper limit can be raised by slowing down, staying in the shade, and keeping well watered.
But if I'm lying in the sun I feel less comfortable the further it goes over 35-ish.

YM, I do hear that it's getting hotter for you. Best advice, stock up on water/wine/beer, stay local, stay in the pool, stay happy! Easy!

Forecast next week is for it to off again so by end of week it will be back to 28 or so in time for my arrival, suits me. I can cope with it in the 30s but it restricts me getting more walking done comfortably. Once it gets to 40 and over its just too much and you end up just sitting around reading and swimming periodically. Fine for the odd day here and there but not for me for a full week.

YM, Have a "Blast" on your final day. Believe me, the Yorkshire forecast is pretty grim
