tepid and mild are synonyms, so tepid should cover mild in that way. usually tepid is for liquids, and mild is for air / weather, when it comes to temperature, AFAIK.
Is ambient is for the ambient air/weather, ambient ground temp, or ambient material temperature? the ambient temperature of the air at the beach is 30-40C.the water’s ambient temp from the shower nozzle is much lower, thanks to it being underground (15-20C?). Ambient requires knowledge of the surrounding area - but we are trying to use qualitative words based on human range. If I stick your hand in a pot of water, and it is tepid - is that the ambient temperature of where I got the water? how is that expressed? the fact that it is tepid/mild says nothing about the ambient temperature of where it came from. again - this is subjective or qualitative. a “tepid” 25C cave is quite nice in a 50C desert. Trying to match qualitative words to C values would be difficult - and impossible if it is for different mediums (air water, metal, etc). or is that the exercise? to match qualitative words to known C value ranges for the purpose of the Wiki? I think having some human scale values is important - and weather that is a mechanically / chemically / or naturally occurring temperature should be left up to the subtag values.
