What’s the opposite of the “room-temperature” insult? Maybe “Death Valley temperature” would be at least one standard deviation above average.

Death Valley would be a hilariously poor metaphor, since it's known for both very high and very low temperatures.

Yeah well no one talks about Death Valley as in “woah the diurnal variation” though.

That's always been my association, but maybe I'm just weird like that!

Thanks for you input.
