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.

Central London. 32 outside and 30 inside. I'm melting!

Dreamiesarecatcrack · 12/08/2024 15:36

Thermostat (in hallway) is reading 26.4 so it's reasonably comfortable indoors, outside is definitely hotter (forecast says 28 today) but it's cloudy and muggy here rather than sunny and it's the sun on our back windows from 1pm til sundown which seems to heat our house to furnace temperatures so doesn't feel too bad at all today.

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!

34 outside. Cooler inside because I’ve got air coolers blasting out. 🥵

Mespher · 12/08/2024 15:30

25 downstairs, so ok
27 upstairs, I will put the portable air con on tonight
31 outside

Vates · 12/08/2024 15:26

I am starting to feel ill and rotten. I can't stand it.

It said 27c earlier, feels warmer than that though. Trying to keep the cat indoors but I think he's better outside where there's a breeze, and in the shade it's quite pleasant.

I've brought my cat in, she doesn't seek the shady spot and just lies in the full glare of the sun 🙄she is now on sofa on a cotton sheet with a fan blowing nearby - she now feels a normal temperature

CoffeandTiaMaria · 12/08/2024 15:25

21° and just right.
It’s 33°on the back patio, 29° in the shade on the lawn 🥵

AgileGreenSeal · 12/08/2024 15:23

It’s 20 outside (N Ireland) , not sure what it is in the house. Heading down to the beach now for a swim 🏊‍♂️

FrenchandSaunders · 12/08/2024 15:19

London, the thermostat in our shady hall is showing 27 degrees!!

28.8 and the humidity is 59%.

LBOCS2 · 12/08/2024 15:18

24.5 inside, 31 outside. A bit warm for me, but definitely bearable.

NatureofSociety · 12/08/2024 15:16

25 inside, 31 outside. We've had the curtains and blinds shut since before the temp started rising, but it's fairly unpleasant away from the fans.

bridgetreilly · 12/08/2024 15:13

About 457 degrees. Hotter than Mars. Hot enough to fry an egg.

berksandbeyond · 12/08/2024 15:12

Also in Berks. 27 inside, 31 outside. Our last house was always roasting, it’ll be easily 35 in there today. Whenever it’s hot I think about that house!

Takemetothemountainsnow · 12/08/2024 15:09

23c - nice and pleasant

PetrichorSoul · 12/08/2024 15:00

28 inside but 34 outside ... am in Geneva.

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

SunshineInMySprocket · 12/08/2024 14:59

27 inside and 31 outside. We’ve got the windows open and the blinds closed. It’s very warm.

FinallyHere · 12/08/2024 14:59

NE facing side noticeable cooler than SW side, shades closed, the Galileo thermometer on warm side is at max (all the balls have sunk so above 30deg.

With the different temperatures not quite bad enough yet to turn on air con

LifeExperience · 12/08/2024 14:56

23 during the day and 21 at night year 'round. I live in Florida.

Droolylabradors · 12/08/2024 13:41

@DoIdriveaVauxhallZafira lovely in winter. We have flagstone floors with underfloor heating in the kitchen but I usually turn it off as it makes my feet hot. We have an everhot on all year around and it's lovely in winter and barely noticeable in summer.

We do sleep with all windows open upstairs in the summer. However none of the windows fit properly as all v old so lots of winter ventilation 😀

Sounds like my dream property!

23.5. Also in Berks. It's warm outside but hasn't been massively sunny yet.
