Words for the default, unnoticeable level of heat/cold, humidity/dryness etc.
are mostly missing, at least from the languages I know of, which is not many
I'll admit but still.
Words are certainly needed for the temperature perfect to humans, not so hot
that you sweat, not so cold that you freeze or need to put on more clothes,
that then make you sweat...
