Okay someone is having a laugh.  My radiator has just come on in the hallway.  I can't understand it.  My heating is turned off at the timer, my thermastat is at zero and yet my flippin' radiator clearly thinks it isn't quite warm enough.  Can't wait for for hubby to get home from work. 

have you got a tank for hot water?, when mine gets topped up one of my rads come on, ive been told apparently this is normal on the system I got?

I know it's off TROPIC but is this an upstairs rad? It will warm on older systems same as in my house if the hot water is on. You have to shut off the rad valves on all upstairs rads otherwise a demand for hot water will heat them.

To follow on from Coast, have you been running the hot water for a while, eg bath or shower as that can feed to the radiators if the diverter valve is stuck

 

There should be a manual override lever on the front of it (usually in the airing cupboard) if it is gas central heating - push it back fully one way and see what happens.

holy smokes, do my eyes decieve me, or can I actually spot a couple of weather related posts in this thread recently?......Posted Image

 

thunderstorm near High Wycombe and looks like a second storm fireing to the far west of the region south of Reading near Fleet...

 

looks to be a nice seabreeze convergence zone developing over this region, stretching for Norfolk southwestwrds to Hants

Just got ack from Stratford to Warren Street on the underground, an extremely unpleasant, swelering experience. I now have the commute home to look forward to in a few minutes. The Greater Anglia train from Liverpool Street that I usually catch is left in the blazing sun with all the windows shut in sidings all day. Some nights it is difficult to breath properly when first entering the carriage and only a little relief after openng all the windows until the train picks up speed after about Benthnal Green. Oh the joys of commuting!

I am looking forward to arriving home this evening and sitting in the garden for a few minutes, then up to the allotment to do some watering.

Kind regards

Dave

 

 

Been there and bought the T-Shirt. You have my profound sympathies. At least this weather has persuaded my husband that when I come into a small legacy next year, we shall spend some of it on converting our garden pond into a modest DIY swimming pond. Like one of these...

We have to do something anyway as it's impossible to weed — and quite dangerous, as I get stuck in the mud at the bottom with the water at chest height.

Pretty sure it was thunder and I also spotted a CG, the rain core is small but the storm goes up sharp as anything.Not heard thunder for about 5 minutes now though.

Storm clouds gathering to the north/northwest of Alton.

Rumbles of thunder.  Looking at radar this cell has formed in the last hour.

Sorry about the off topic posts.  Hubby has wiggled a valve in the airing cupboard and it's gone off.  So you were all right, thank you for trying to help, I just didn't know what to wiggle.

 

So as you were. I hope the I get a huge crack or even a little rumble.  I'm too hot at the moment.

Some stormy skies all of a sudden here, definite convection going on, after 32C was reached earlier! Could do with a decent storm :)

Got a couple of towers ( hope that's the right terminology!) going up pretty quickly north of me, though a long way off.
