You say 12C like it's a bad thing.
I rarely know what the indoor temperature is during the late fall/early winter. My only indoor thermometer is a Galileo thermometer that only reads down to 16C and that ball rarely drops this time of year. I always rejoice when it falls for the first time each year and celebrate again when it appears to be down for the count. That's my own personal first sign of spring and a signal that I can stop cast off my indoor footwear.
