Thread title should be pretty self-explanatory. My scale is as follows, using Fahrenheit because, being American, it's what I'm most used to:
110+: Sweltering 100s: Very Hot 90s: Hot 80s: Warm 70s: Mild/Neutral 60s: Cool 50s: Chilly 40s: Cold 30s: Quite Cold 20s: Really Cold 10s: Frigid <10: Freeze my balls off!
For me these classifications can vary a bit, like it doesn't really feel that bad on a 30'F (-1'C) day if it's sunny out, the wind isn't intense, and I'm wearing a jacket, but this seems to be a good general guide. I prefer to wear just a T-shirt and a pair of shorts, which I do every opportunity I can if it's 70'F (21'C) or warmer out; below that I feel a definite chill in the air dressed like that. I'm in decent physical shape and I can work up a bit of a sweat going for a walk outside even as low as 40'F (4'C), so sweating and being warm don't necessarily coincide for me either. If I'm wearing the right clothes, anything from 20'F to over 100'F can be passably comfortable. I'm from Wisconsin, so I have a thick skin when it comes to temperatures!

AJ1013 Those are some very specific cutoffs! It also looks like my preferred room temperature falls under your "scorching"!

110: Scorching 100s: Very hot 90s: Hot 80s: Very warm 70s: Warm 60s: Mild 50s: Cool 40s: Chilly 30s: Cold 20s: Pretty cold 10s: Freezing <10: Frigid Rain will shift temps down the list, humidity will shift temps up the list Edit: lmao, I apparently used the exact same descriptions for the same temps as Yahya Sinwar. Completely separately too.

It is all about which temperatures/climate you're used to, but if we're talking from a summer perspective, and assuming that dew point is 60°F for temperatures above 80°F, then:
>=111°F = Very hot 101-110°F = Hot 92-100°F = Very warm 82-91°F = Warm 73-81°F = Mild 60-72°F = Cool <=59°F = Cold
From a winter/spring perspective:
>=75°F = Warm 63-74°F = Mild 50-62°F = Cool 35-49°F = Chilly 25-34°F = Cold <=25°F = Very cold

Depends on if day or night
Daytime
Extremely Hot=95°F+ (Heat Index) Very Hot=92°F to 94°F (Heat Index) Hot=86°F to 91°F (Heat Index) Very Warm=79°F to 85°F (Heat Index) Warm=70°F to 78°F (Heat Index) Mild=59°F to 69°F Cool=47°F to 58°F Chilly=32°F to 46°F (Wind Chill) Cold=16°F to 31°F (Wind Chill) Very Cold= -2 to 15°F (Wind Chill) Extremely Cold= -3 or colder (Wind Chill)
Night
Extremely Hot=101°F+ (Heat Index) Very Hot=97°F to 100°F (Heat Index) Hot=92° to 96°F (Heat Index) Very Warm=85°F to 91°F (Heat Index) Warm=76°F to 84°F (Heat Index) Mild=65°F to 75°F Cool=52°F to 64°F Chilly=38°F to 51°F (Wind Chill) Cold=22°F to 37°F (Wind Chill) Very Cold=4°F to 21°F (Wind Chill) Extremely Cold=3°F or colder (Wind Chill)
I have a scale to evaluate a day as a whole as well
Means
Extremely Hot=86°F+ Very Hot=82.5°F to 85.5°F Hot=77°F to 82°F Very Warm=70°F to 76.5°F Warm=61°F to 69.5°F Mild=50°F to 60.5°F Cool=37.5°F to 49.5°F Chilly=23°F to 37°F Cold=7°F to 22.5°F Very Cold= -11°F to 6.5°F Extremely Cold= -11.5°F or colder
So for us (using means)
Feb 20th to Mar 26th=Warm Mar 27th to Apr 27th=Very Warm Apr 28th to May 15th=Hot May 16th to May 25th=Very Hot May 26th to Sept 25th=Extremely Hot Sept 26th to Oct 4th=Very Hot Oct 5th to Oct 17th=Hot Oct 18th to Nov 6th=Very Warm Nov 7th to Nov 29th=Warm Nov 30th to Feb 19th=Mild

Sweltering: 44 C and above Hot: 35-43 C Warm: 28-34 C Mild: 20-27 C Cool: 10-19 C Cold: -7 to +9 C Frigid: -8 C and below (Click the spoiler if you're interested in the method to my madness.)
Assuming I'm wearing a short sleeve T-shirt and shorts (what I consider to be neutral, dressing normally without having to adapt for cold), I'm not especially exerting myself, and other factors like particularly strong wind or humidity aren't affecting my thermal sensations, 10 C is about the coldest I can tolerate for a prolonged period without going "gosh it's chilly; wish I had long sleeves on". 20 C is about where there's no longer a perceptible chill in the air if I'm in the sun and the wind's light - though temps anywhere in the 70s F can still feel slightly cool if I'm in the shade and it isn't humid. By 28 C, the potential for a cool sensation is virtually absent, and there's usually some extent of a warm sensation. 35 C is about where the feeling of "what a nice day!" starts to be supplanted by "it's hot out!". While "mild", "warm", and "cool" in that order are my three most preferred from a strictly comfort perspective, that's not to say "hot" or "cold" can't be adapted to or even enjoyable. My 44 C "sweltering" cutoff is an estimation. Below -7 C, it isn't just cold - even once I've bundled up, the cold still penetrates my entire body under my clothing and it's just nasty. (That's the temperature below which I will break out the jacket, hat, and gloves even if I am just outside for 10-20 minutes such as walking to and from work.) Therefore my "easily comfortable" range spans 10-34 C (50-94 F), and my "potentially comfortable" range with clothing adaptations spans -7 to +43 C (20-109 F).
Being from Wisconsin has made me cold-hardy - but that doesn't mean I enjoy bundling up. Any temperature that forces me to wear long sleeves is cold and undesirable. Any temperature that forces me to wear a jacket/coat is frigid and I'd be happier if I never saw it again.

It's no doubt subjective, and my perception is influenced based on the climate that I live in. Also, I decided to use Fahrenheit as it is superior in weather/climate discussions, due to being more precise. In addition, 0F to 100F represents about the general range of temps here in an average year.
105F and higher = extremely hot 95F to 104F = very hot 85F to 94F = hot 70F to 84F = warm 60F to 69F = mild
50F to 59F = cool 43F to 49F = chilly 33F to 42F = cold 25F to 32F = freezing 16F to 24F = frigid 15F and below = extremely cold

104+: astonishingly miserable (never have experienced) 93-104: sweltering (if humid, if dry perhaps a bit higher ~98f) 84-92: hot 77-83: very warm 69-76: warmish 57-68: mild 44-56: 'fresh' and pleasantly cool 32-43: mildly cold/chilly 17-32f: moderately cold, comfortable with just jacket 8-17f: getting cold but not extreme -15-8f: quite harsh/icy but manageable cold <-15f: horribly frigid

From a lifetime working outdoors... and the disclaimer that like most Aussies, I have no concept of temps below -5c +45c - actually dangerous to work outdoors in, simply can't get enough water into your body with physical exertions +40c - still freaking hot, if there is a wind blowing, it dries your eyeballs out. +35c - easy to handle, unless the DP's are up around 27c/28c, then it is as shithouse as dry +40c's+45c's. +30c - Ahhh, backpacker season in Darwin, scantily clad Eurotrash....girls, you are welcome here in Gods own country ! +25c - don't even break out into a sweat digging ditches, pouring concrete etc.... pretty good actually +20c - ok providing the wind is calm. +15c - tropical acclimatised people struggle with 15c temps...especially if its windy and or damp. +10c - a 10c max temp day in the vast majority of Australia gets media coverage. Even the Top End gets a few sub 10c mins ( not Darwin, though ) +5c - some inland towns at say +400m asl see the odd 5c max temps, a coupla snow flurries makes headline news in the media down South. 0c - frosts inland away from the coast are quite common over a huge area of the AU landmass, even up into the Tropics. -5c - a frost of this magnitude is a hard freeze in AU. And is about as low a max temp one will see in the Snowy Mountains -10c - a hard freeze this low happens reasonably frequently along the Great Dividing Ranges deep into Queensland. -15c - pretty well confined to the higher valleys in the Australian Alps in Vic and NSW. -23c - the record cold min recorded at Charlotte Pass in the NSW Alps.

Sweltering: 44 C and above Hot: 35-43 C Warm: 28-34 C Mild: 20-27 C Cool: 10-19 C Cold: -7 to +9 C Frigid: -8 C and below
Agreed but 28C-34C will be "hot" for me if the conditions were humid.

My scale of temperatures:
90°F+: Sweltering; Humidity really makes it feel worse, but dry heat is the lesser of the two evils 85-89°F: Very hot 82-84°F: Hot 78-81°F: Very warm; Highest temps I can deal with without AC or even fans 75-77°F: Warm 66-74°F: Mild; cool season crops do the best here 57-65°F: Cool; still mild but lower temperatures 52-56°F: Very cool; many plants and crops are able to survive and even grow some in this range 42-51°F: Chilly; best indicator of seasonality when you can't have snow, also, cool season crops germinate at minimum 40°F 33-41°F: Fridge tier chilly 27-32°F: Freezing! lol 24-26°F: Hard frost 17-23°F: Frigid Below 17°F: VERY FRIGID BRRRRR
DISCLAIMER: I can say that things are NOT one way or another when it comes to temperatures; 50-59°F isn't bad tbh, but also, far from neutral. Same with 40's, literally chilly weather, but that doesn't mean things can't grow in that range even, like peas, lettuce, fescue grass, even conifers. Places like La Palma and San Diego are just mind-numbingly boring and monotous, plus it's expensive to be there, so it is overall not really the best despite having some of the most neutral temperatures out there.

Assuming if the heat index temperature is the same as the absolute temperature, here is the temperature ranges of hot, warm, cool, cold and more! 60ºC (140ºF) and higher: Deathly Hot
48 to 60ºC (118.4 to 140ºF): Sizzling 36 to 48ºC (96.8 to 118.4ºF): Scorching
30 to 36ºC (86 to 96.8ºF): Very Hot 24 to 30ºC (75.2 to 86ºF): Hot
21 to 24ºC (69.8 to 75.2ºF): Warm 18 to 21ºC (64.4 to 69.8ºF): Pleasantly Warm
15 to 18ºC (59 to 64.4ºF): Pleasantly Cool 12 to 15ºC (53.6 to 59ºF): Cool
6 to 12ºC (42.8 to 53.6ºF): Cold 0 to 6ºC (32 to 42.8ºF): Very Cold
-12 to 0ºC (10.4 to 32ºF): Freezing -24 to -12ºC (-11.2 to 10.4ºF): Frosty
-42 to -24ºC (-43.6 to -11.2ºF): Frigid -60 to -42ºC (-76 to -43.6ºF): Frostbite-Inducing
-60ºC (-76ºF) and lower: Deathly Cold
