Warmish

Warmish describes something that is moderately warm, tending toward warmth, or somewhat warm. It suggests a temperature that is not intensely hot but noticeably above cool or cold. Often applied to weather, liquids, or objects, 'warmish' implies a comfortable, pleasant degree of heat, though less than a fully 'warm' state. The term suggests a degree of warmth that is noticeable but not extreme or overwhelming. It could also apply figuratively to describing emotions or a level of politeness or friendliness.
