Um, no I don't think I'll enjoy working @ 78F much.

Why? 25°C is absolutely fine for working inside, at least for me. A little cooler and I need a sweater and long pants. This summer I've mainly worked at home (no AC, Southern Ontario), because I don't want to bring my winter clothes to work. Combine a room cooled to 20°C, the AC breeze, and me sitting at a desk without a scarf and I have a sore throat in under two hours.

78°F is at least 10° too hot for me to be comfortable. I'd go nuts if I had to work in that kind of heat all day.

Even in short clothing?

For me, yes. Even at 65 I'm very happy wearing shorts and tshirts.

Yep.

It's a fine temperature for remaining completely sedentary, but I like to be able to walk to the bus or cafe, or up and down stairs, without breaking a sweat.
