Definition
常温 (cháng wēn) means 'room temperature' — the normal ambient temperature of a room (around 20–25°C). It is more specific than 温度 (wēn dù), which is the general word for 'temperature' (hot, cold, etc.). Use 常温 when referring to the standard temperature of an indoor environment, especially for food storage or experiments.
