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.

23C apparently, which is too warm for me.

It's 25C outside, but it's not sunny.

One of the things I love most about my house is how cool it stays in hot weather. It's a Georgian stone house with high ceilings. I haven't ever needed a fan since moving in here. But the flip side is that it does the same in winter...

Hive says it's 19.5. Outside is 23 at the moment.

24.5 inside and 24 outside here. All doors and windows wide open as there is a nice breeze.

27 degrees... far too warm for me 🥵

ssd · 12/08/2024 14:44

22 degrees inside here, outside Glasgow

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 12/08/2024 14:44

22.9 that’s in the bedroom though with no windows so it’s possibly slightly cooler in the living room. In all fairness though it doesn’t feel that bad in here

TokyoSushi · 12/08/2024 14:43

25.5 according to Hive, new build NW

Projectme · 12/08/2024 14:43

Hazarding a guess? Around magma level 🥵

whirlyhead · 12/08/2024 14:42

It's 33 degrees in my coolest room.

ShowOfHands · 12/08/2024 14:42

It's 23 degrees in the house and 31 outside.

Just a bog standard 1930s semi but thick walls and it stays relatively cool. If I'd left the curtains closed, it'd be nearer 20.

MonsteraMama · 12/08/2024 14:41

Downstairs is a breezy 22° thanks to the layout, floors and ceiling fans. My husband is currently lying on the kitchen floor because it's flag and cool as a cucumber.

Upstairs is approximately the temperature of the surface of the sun.

Deliberationdivinationdesperation · 12/08/2024 14:39

Thermostat is saying it's 25 degrees in the house, and my phone is telling me it's 22 degrees outside

Yep we're in a new build... I swear the house doesn't hold the heat this well in winter though as we're always shivering from late September

KnittedCardi · 12/08/2024 14:39

30 outside, 25 inside. It feels delicious when you come in. South West Surrey. Always hottest here. We are just down the road from Wisley.

NetflixAndKill · 12/08/2024 14:38

28° downstairs and 31° up 😯

Boopbeepbeepboop · 12/08/2024 14:38

21deg c. I've got the Aircon on, 31deg c outside. Our house is a new build and before we had aircon would be in the high 30s in this weather.

Bedroom was 28 degrees an hour ago, living room is 28 now too. Big french windows facing the sun and not well insulated. Bedroom always hot because the radiator comes on with the hot water. Other side of the house isn't quite as bad until the sun moves, but nowhere that side to sit. It's horrible and I was already feeling ill (think I've had COVID) and don't do well in the heat. I vacuumed earlier and it nearly killed me.

We're moving 300 miles north in two weeks and I can't wait!

MrsLeonFarrell · 12/08/2024 14:36

32 outside, 23-25 inside depending on where in the house I am. I am little obsessed with curtains, windows and doors and managing the heat.

Mind you one advantage of the 40 heat we had is that 30 seems better than it used to.

spikeandbuffy24 · 12/08/2024 14:35

Ground floor apartment
21c inside, always cooler than outside

NannyGythaOgg · 12/08/2024 14:33

25 degrees.
South facing lounge with 3m bifolds open. Tends to be pretty much the same as outside when cloudy, like today. Generally a bit cooler inside when it's sunny out.

ns87 · 12/08/2024 14:30

29 in upstairs bedrooms, miserable!

Belladone · 12/08/2024 14:30

I’m near Ely here and it’s 32 in the shade outside, my bedroom at the front is 29 but my living room at the back is 22, I’m lucky enough to have air conditioning units in the house, I only run it in the bedrooms at night/evening as it costs a lot to run, but the living room is lovely and cool. Kitchen gets hot, south facing and no air con just a ceiling fan and blinds pulled down

Fluffyc1ouds · 12/08/2024 14:27

24 degrees but it's quite cool outside today.

We have quite big variations with the temperature in our house. On a hot day recently it was 28 degrees inside, and in the winter it drops to about 4 degrees (which I find difficult to imagine right now!).

garlictwist · 12/08/2024 14:26

Thermostat is in kitchen and it says 21. It's not that hot outside where I am though.

fliptopbin · 12/08/2024 14:24

19 degrees inside, 23 degrees outside. I am in N Yorkshire.

Towerofsong · 12/08/2024 14:22

29.5c in my home.office, south facing with two windows.

Was the.same last weekend when it was hot.
