How else can this word be used in Japanese?

The most obvious use would be as an adjective to describe the temperature of water. I'm curious whether the word can be used in a more metaphorical manner.

A native I asked said it's just for the temperature of things. I explained things like "lukewarm reaction" in English as well, and they confirmed that no, this word wouldn't be used like that.
