"Lukewarm" is a non-specific term, but if we consider room temperature to be 70 degrees, and bath water temperature to be 110 degrees, that is a 40 degree difference. Lukewarm should be about halfway between those two points. That would be 90 degrees, or about the same temperature as the average human's skin. So water on the skin at that temperature would feel "just a little bit warm". Which is what lukewarm means.

Luke warm generally refers to somewhere close to, but slightly warmer than human blood temperature. In other words if it feels slightly warm to your touch it could be described as luke warm. A cup of coffee that has stood for about 20 minutes would be about it.

Lukewarm is typically around body temperature, which is approximately 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). It is neither hot nor cold, but rather a moderate or mild temperature.
