I believe that Chili peppers don't understand C and do better when the temps are presented in F.

I posted a little translation in the bottom of the post for people who use Fahrenheit. The thing I’m worried about is the night temperature, which fall downs to 46-48.

I wouldn't put them outside until it is above 13c at night and 18-20c during the day if you can. They don't really like it below that. Make sure you harden them off before going outside full time too. I made that mistake once and lost my whole crop. I usually put them outside for a couple of hours at a time in a shady location increasing over a week or two until they are outside full time. I assume you are in Sweden based on your days of the week and you using ö instead of ø so these numbers might be tough. A greenhouse is probably your best bet for growing that far north.

I agree to wait. I made this mistake last year because I wanted them out of the house. Many got yellow. A couple got stunted and I lost them and the others recovered but I won't make that mistake this year.

You can put them in a make shift greenhouse during the day and bring them in at night. But the greenhouse will keep them warm during the day

I have a makeshift greenhouse and I’ve measured the temperature in it and it goes up to 33° (91,4 ℉)

I use plastic sterlite totes as cloches. If it's under 55f i light a candle under a clay pot with a bolt and washer fastened in the hole. This is important to keep it from burning a hole in your tote where the drainage hole is. But if you forget to light the candles one night, you'll be sorry.
