    Way better than forecast. That high is hanging on for dear life today. Never the less, copious amounts of strong mid-spring sunshine, a light breeze & temps around average. A welcome day after yesterday. 

    Here in South Manchester it was mainly cloudy all morning.  A cold breeze too.  Spent 5 hours jet-washing the patio.  I had wellies on but my feet were freezing.  Typically the sun came out as I was packing everything away........

    An ambient temp of 10°C is nowhere near enough for me to want heating on, even in early January with no sunlight. 15°C indoor temp definitely doesn't feel uncomfortable for me, I don't think I'd even want to have a jacket on at that point. I remember last Christmas with the mild spell where we reached about 15°C outside for two consecutive days and approached the record daily min, it felt uncomfortably stuffy in my house.

    How about the higher range then?  Do you melt at 20°C?  Evaporate at 30°C? 😂

    Even without buildings getting warm, how do these temps feel cold enough for heating? Even in winter I barely feel cold enough for it, this winter I appreciated the heating for about two weeks worth of January mornings maybe. Otherwise for me it's been too mild/warm for it.

    Again, not trying to take a pop at anyone for this, I'm just trying to understand how these temps could possibly be cold enough for heating. Do people not try wearing jackets etc. first? If I feel a bit chilly in winter I put a jacket on first before resorting to turning the stuffy, migraine-inducing heating on and making the house too hot, and it's almost always enough. The last time that I appreciated the heating being on in the day was in the December 2022 cold snap, it was totally unneeded last winter

    I guess you just need to accept that you’re the anomaly and most other people feel cold and put the heating on when it’s 4c indoors 🙂

    Genuinely curious here, how do you feel cold enough to put the heating on in low-teens? Is it a case of poor insulation or something else? I can't imagine putting the heating on at anything above a few degrees, let alone teens. Not trying to take a pop at anyone, I genuinely can't imagine being cold enough at these temps to want the heating on (I'm in shorts today even) so I'm curious

    Genuinely curious here too.  What’s your indoor temp need to drop down to for you to put the heating on?

    Max outside here today was around 10c.  Plus it was cloudy so there was no sun to heat the house.  Indoor temp was around 15c which was uncomfortable.  An hour with the CH on brought it up to 18c.

    Plenty of people still out and about in winter coats and wooly hats though lol. Stockholm syndrome? Or perhaps tourists from warm places in the USA or Australia who find anything below 18c to be frigid...

    Might be worth looking into Stockholm syndrome.  I'm pretty sure you have an alternative idea what it relates to.  It doesn't have much to do with winter coats and woolly hats........ 🙂

    Too much faffing about now and content doesn't flow properly from the naked eye without having to highlight names or text.

    Fair enough.  I just find it quite simple to highlight the text you want to quote in a reply.  

    I honestly really like it so just surprised others don't!   I've been on the forum for years but just as a reader rather than a contributor so maybe that's the difference.   You post a lot so will take you longer to get used to it perhaps!

    The MetOffice warning maps are ridiculously confusing IMO, especially when there are several out at the same time covering different types of weather. Surely they could come up with something better given their importance? 

    I agree, very confusing.  I think an overview map is useful but you should be able to click on a county (or at least region) and get detailed information for that area.

    UkV is suggesting gusts for my neck of the woods tomorrow night 58mph to 69mph, yet I can only see a yellow warning for rain for my area.  Winds that strong are damaging, wonder if meto will eventually broaden their wind warning.

    The yellow warning you see is for wind, not rain.  It's just the way it displays on the MetO warning map.  When there are multiple warnings it's really not easy to decipher..........
