Hot or Cold Shower.

I do not have a water heater at home, but these days the water from the faucet already feels warm because of the hot weather. Sometimes it is surprising because I expect the water to be refreshing, especially during the afternoon, but instead it feels like someone slightly heated it.
A warm shower can be relaxing for some people, but honestly, I do not enjoy it that much.
I still prefer taking a cold shower no matter the season. Cold water feels more refreshing and helps me cool down after feeling sweaty and uncomfortable from the heat. It wakes me up and makes me feel cleaner too.
Maybe I just got used to cold showers over the years, so warm showers do not give me the same satisfying feeling except when my body is sore.

When I shower early in the morning before going to work (mostly to help me wake up), I like having the water nice and hot. But if I shower at any other time of the day, I prefer cooler water, which helps me cool off and relax from our summer heat.

Some of our water pipes run close to the roof and in summer the cold water is often quite warm.

I prefer bathing cold water Even if the weather is very cold.

Always has to be warm or hot for me. I don't like cold water.

You can't get cold water in our shower... It's always warm water that comes out but that's okay because our house is always set for 74F/23C so a warm/hot shower feels good.
