Confused about sleeping bag temperature ratings (lemmy.world)

Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

That should help with the ground. I guess my advice would be to get out there and try it once before it's your coldest season. See if you're comfy at 40⁰ and then take your best guess about another 8⁰

Sounds like a plan. I'm currently at 7000 feet so I'm about to find out.
