What temperature is your house right now?

The back part of my new house is really good at keeping cool - due to hard floors and aspect I guess.

I’m in Berks, supposedly 29c outside.

House is showing 23.5c. Very grateful as I have young kids and a dog.

Just curious.

Our last house was a new build and unbearable, would often only be a degree below outside temps.

Do you have your Windows open?

It's 24 in the hallway, it's 32 outside and I'm staying in the house.

No windows, but bifolds are not open. I also have invested in UV blinds for the roof lights too otherwise it would be well over 40 I imagine. Kids bedrooms (on different sides of the house) are both 29 degrees despite having blinds down all day and windows opened this evening.

😂😂😂😂😂 You would be when you saw what they did to the water pipes under our bathroom...

But a lot of the time I absolutely love it and it's an incredible privilege to live here.

32c in my flat this afternoon My housing officer chose today to do a property inspection, NOW they finally take me seriously about how hot it gets in here

If I am in charge of opening and closing curtains and windows on the correct sides of the house at the right time, it can be 30 degrees outside and 24 degrees inside.

DH is in charge of these things today, so I fully expect the inside of the house to be 30 degrees when I get home!

We have a conservatory which, thankfully, has double glazed doors into the house and this thankfully stops the heat transferring. That, with the doors and windows open, is currently 39.5 degrees!

Sounds like my DH. I don't understand why it's such a hard concept to close the windows and blinds when it's hotter outside than inside. (And open them all at night to cool down again).

29’ 🥵

AlmostCutMyHairToday · 12/08/2024 19:04

31.7 (in a loft conversion in London)
WFH today and brain did not want to work

Eviebeans · 12/08/2024 19:04

Currently 30

minimadgirl · 12/08/2024 19:03

Not sure about outside right now but was 28 when I finished work at 3.
Living room is reading 35 degrees but the sun is directly into it all day.

Chocolateorange22 · 12/08/2024 18:58

Sat at 26.7 downstairs at the moment, I can feel a through draft so doesn't feel like high. Dread to think how hot it is upstairs. West Mids.

Yeah but I could do without the rats and mice in the attic and under the floors!

Tequilamockinbird · 12/08/2024 17:11

Mine is 26.4 according to Hive. Feels like 126.4, been working from home today and I'm absolutely boiling 🥵

JackRabbitSlim · 12/08/2024 17:03

21, no air con, fans or windows open because we're in Scotland and our area has only just warmed up a little after quite a ferocious thunderstorm!

InterIgnis · 12/08/2024 17:01

21 - have also got the air con on.

CrikeyMajikey · 12/08/2024 16:57

31 inside 🥵

OhmygodDont · 12/08/2024 16:39

Now 29c in the coldest part of the house. Livingroom is satans ball sack south facing. Outside 32c.

Shefliesonherownwings · 12/08/2024 16:14

27.1 currently. I'm in Herts. Our house really retains the heat which is great in winter, not so much in the summer. Kids rooms upstairs will be closer to 29 I reckon. 😰

Thankfully we have an air con unit which we'll put on upstairs a bit later on, it's a godsend.

fiddleleaffig · 12/08/2024 15:59

21 degrees apparently but that's the temp we set the aircon to.

Do you have aircon in all rooms?

I’m looking at getting aircon for our house and wondering if you have to have every room done. I live in the south east of England

BarbedButterfly · 12/08/2024 16:01
  1. Might see if I can pop to hell to cool down.

Downstairs North facing front room 23 - it's quite insulated and is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Upstairs is 26.

32 outside, 26.5 inside 💦 south east

Ditto!
Its 26C on the sunny side of the house though, the back is much cooler. But it feels ok to me...I have reflective blackout fabric I stick to the windows with velcro in hot weather and it really keeps the heat down.

Unfortunately I have to go to work tonight which means working in an oven in a polyester uniform.😥

WickerMam · 12/08/2024 15:40

18 both inside and out at the moment. We have a yellow weather warning for rain today.

GingerPirate · 12/08/2024 15:39

41C in the kitchen 😁

socks1107 · 12/08/2024 15:37

The hive says 27.8 but it's in a cool part of the house
