temperature anomalies and the destructive consequences that come with them undeniably suck for the other inhabitants of the planet that are genetically evolved to handle certain conditions and don't have defenses for extreme condition changes
as for us, looking at the population distribution of humans on earth it is evident that regions that fall between 15 and 35 degrees are the most settled in, which probably indicates the general "comfort zone" of humans
so yes the 4 months or so that we get to enjoy that range in temperature are great. and many people on earth live in the upper range of those temperatures year-round and do just fine
I also think it's possible to adapt to -5 to +10 as a range of comfort and many here have done so. but it's not for everyone, or we would see the vast canadian prairies boast a greater population than they do
comes down to what you're adjusted to and your lifestyle (e.g. winter sports)
