    Indoor Temperature Thread

    in Spring Weather Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Eskimo

    I try and keep the lounge to about 16-17C - that's where I'm comfortable enough. We have an old wooden framed conservatory tacked onto the back of the house that nearly gets down to the outside temp because it's got shutter windows at the top and consequently its draughty. The living room window looks into the conservatory and unfortunately that's also wooden framed and single-paned so we can't retain as much heat as we'd like in here. The kitchen also looks into the conservatory, however we replaced the old wooden framed windows with modern uPVS double-glazing due to a break in and that makes a huge difference there.

    Does the possibility of a cold winter this year worry you?

    We'll cope between me and my partner as we have decent-paying jobs (at least to me they are). We don't have children and we don't have a particularly high mortgage (for now) as we saved hard for years to get a 20% stake in the house. My partner works afield so stays in hotels so there's only me at home most of the time so energy consumption is about as low as it can be. 

    I do genuinely feel for those that will struggle significantly. Particularly older people with pittance-pensions, vulnerable people and young families - if they struggle then we will all struggle. The knock-on effects of low spending and hunkering down will cause further problems to our economy down the line.

    When you are told to stay out of the midday heat ie between 11am until 3pm, I don't understand it as when in Spain the main heat builds up about 5pm and its always the hottest part of the day

    It's not just the ambient temperature but the combination of that and when the sun is at its strongest. 12-3pm will feel much hotter and affect you more than at 3-6pm.

    Hi 

    this is what my temp gauge is reading here in Lincolnshire. The clock in the middle is not working (need to change the battery) however the temp and humidity are for all to see.

    the temp is in full sun mind not the shade.

    Needs to be moved to shade to be honest. It's of little value if it's in the sun.

    I think the models are over and under doing it wildly.  I don't see how Wales can be 12C and over the Channel 44, 45C .  

    Easy. France still in the hottest 850s with clear skies, Wales sitting under thick cloud and rain in much cooler 850s.  I do, however, think 45C is overkill but completely believe 12C for Wales.
