The adjectives represent a scale. It's really hot out there - the temperature is uncomfortably high It's really warm out there - the temperature is higher than average, but not uncomfortable It's quite (or: a bit) cool out there - the temperature is below average, but not uncomfortable It's really cold out there - the temperature is uncomfortably low It's difficult to relate specific temperatures to the words, as it's not uncommon for one person to feel too cold (or too hot) when other people feel perfectly comfortable Hope this helps
