Hi Lal, check out the liquid temperature recommendations that appear on the recipe page under Tips From our Bakers:

In warmer months (or when your indoor temperature is 70°F to 75°F), the liquid should be 80°F to 85°F. In cooler months (when your indoor temperature is around 65°F), use 100°F to 110°F liquid. The DDT (desired dough temperature) at the end of mixing is 74°F to 76°F.

In other words, adjust your water temperature in relation to your environmental temperature. The desired dough temperature blog linked above provides some tips on how to decide what liquid temperature to use.
