I like 15-25°F diurnal ranges the most—that way, it's large enough to be interesting, but not so large it feels cold at night.
Discuss.

15F in winter, 20-25F in summer

10C diurnal is good. Don’t know what that is in F.

The most interesting are >40 f diurnals but that shouldn’t be a common occurrence.
In summer I like 25-30 f diurnals for my ideal average highs. For hotter temps I like larger and lower temps I like smaller so summer lows stay in the 50s.
Outside of summer I don’t really care, as long as there’s potential for a few high diurnal days and interestingly cold temps, the average diurnal doesn’t matter. 50/40 or 50/20 makes little difference to me

20 F is ideal on average, but I prefer larger in winter and smaller in summer. Voted 20-25 F in the poll because I'd rather them slightly too large than slightly too small.

My preference really depends on the context. I like the idea of smaller diurnal ranges throughout the year, for example 81/68 winter and 91/76 summer averages - but at the same time, I like some 'crispness' to the air on mornings in the cooler months, for a larger 81/58 or 76/52 diurnal range, and I would definitely prefer bigger diurnal ranges on my big heat spike days: 109/82 as opposed to 109/94. I'll just pick the 15-20 F range to avoid being a fence-sitter. 10C diurnal is good. Don’t know what that is in F. That's 18 F. |

Anything below a 20F diurnal range in winter, and preferably a 20F-25F range in summer. Winter diurnal ranges should always be smaller than those in summer.

About 15-20ºF year-round, at the lower end. However, I am ok with days having diurnals between 20-25ºF, especially if the night is cold, or the day is hot

If the high is sub-50 or so, I want <15 f diurnals. No car frost, cold evenings ruining a mild day and if it’s colder, usually snowy or wet.
If it’s hot (<85 ish), then I want larger diurnals so it cools down to at least the low 60s for comfortable sleeping.
Besides that, I don’t really care, 70/30 or 70/60 doesn’t make much difference to me. I also don’t find diurnals interesting unless they’re from a front. A high diurnal from radiational cooling is boring as there’s no weather causing it, just the diurnal cycle.
