The only way to get it at this time of year is to refrigerate it.
The "cold" water for your home comes from a tank that sits outside with direct sun shining on it all day long.
So as a result the water that comes out is even warmer than luke warm. For a kids bath, you don't need to put any hot in and sometimes you even need to let it cool a bit for the youngest ones!
It does take some getting used to. The biggest adjustments for me are brushing your teeth with hot water, and getting a warm backside from the toilet! In public places, where there is higher "bathroom" usage, you can actually feel the cistern behind you is very hot! Quite strange. Fortunately at home the water normally has a chance to cool down a bit between flushes!
The swimming pools are funny too. You can tell how "up market" your pool is if they actually go to the expense of refrigerating the water before pumping it in. No need for pools to be heated here, you have to use electricity to cool them down!
