Central Heating - on yet?

[Accy cyclist]

As I post it's 78 Fahrenheit in my kitchen. It's been one of those rare days and nights when I haven't felt the need to put my central heating on.🧐

I haven't got a Fahrenheit 🌡️

Usual polarised comments again this year.

My contribution, heating has been on maybe a couple of dozen time for an hour in the evening throughout June/July/August. Open fires about half of that I guess.

Unless we get a late warm spell I can't see us not having some form of heating on every night until well into next year.

Today it is chilly. Grey skies and horrible light drizzle. House (bungalow, well insulated) sits at 18C and no chance of that rising as the day goes on. At around 6-7pm that will start to drop and no way are we going to sit here swaddled in fleeces under a blanket etc...

It depends entirely on an individuals tolerance to heat/cold of course
18 is really quite comfortable to us, iirc, 14 is about the point where we get uncomfortable.

We're all different, ironically while i can tolerate a modestly cold house compared to others, i will often be the first to put jumpers / coats on in the autumn, last to take them off in spring.

I've just turned my bathroom radiator off, after being on for an hour to warm the room up (it stops it steaming up) before my shower. My living room one is still on at low temperature. I'll turn it off in about 45 minutes. I don't put my top of the stairs one on from around May to October and my bedroom one only goes on every now and then at a low temp, turned off before I go to bed.

Well I have got 2 of them, a left hand and a right hand one.
If you agree my price then you can choose whichever you prefer 🙂

I do have several Kelvinometers scattered around the house 😉

I know Lancashire is a wet and cold miserable place , but really you've got your heating on in August? I'd just put a jumper on if were cold.

Cumbria - had ours on and off for several weeks now. Plus some open-fires too.

It's been v.wet and often chilly here especially in the evenings.

The worst it has got in our house was closing the patio doors at about 10 p.m. a few evenings!!!

Down here 52° North my next door neighbour has had her wood burner going a couple of the cooler days recently, while I'm steadfastly remaining in shorts.

Yes - but you come from more northerly realms - people in the South have evolved to be softies and wimps!!

True. I do scratch my head in puzzlement when folk down here describe 50mph winds as a storm. Back home we used to call it " Thursday".

I remember a nature programme I watched many years ago talking about weather

It said that, at the time, the strongest wind ever recorded at sea level was recorded in North Scotland - possible Orkney/Shetland but I can;t remember.
It was recorded by an official weather station and a few days later one of the staff was in the local pub and mentioned it to the locals
who hadn;t noticed it as anything different to normal!!!
