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.

26° - London. Not sure what it is outdoors but very warm.

Crunchymum · 12/08/2024 14:20

27.5 (according to the Gro egg)

32c outside.

Coastalcreeksider · 12/08/2024 14:18

25.5. South coast.

About 25 right now.

It'll be lovely this evening though as we've got a ruddy great hill right behind us and on hot days the cool air rolls down it. We open the windows and patio doors and get a lovely stiff breeze pushing all the warm air out.

We moved in three years ago and not once have we had one of those horrible hot sticky nights where noone gets any sleep.

It's not warm here today but yesterday was 23 outside, between 19 and 22 in the house. New build. I was concerned about warm days because you hear so much about them being awful for heat retention, but we've not had a problem. We just keep the blinds closed when the sun is shining in, and air the house overnight when it's cooler outside.

We can't have most windows open at night because of traffic noise. It doesn't cool it down anyway. The heat is in the walls. My town nearly always gets listed by the BBC as the warmest at night.

Kneeslikethese · 12/08/2024 14:13

22.5. I'm in the front room (north facing) it's very pleasant

OlympicsFanGirl · 12/08/2024 14:11

It was 15C earlier on so I popped the central heating on for an hour as I was cold. So it is now nice and cosy.

East Scotland.

Theoldcuriosityshop · 12/08/2024 14:11

29° indoors, hate it, it's pretty unbearable.

Piggywaspushed · 12/08/2024 14:11

30 in the lounge. Hotter than the sun upstairs. New build with lots of big windows and insulation taller than me.

WeRateSquirrels · 12/08/2024 14:09

28 in my (home) office (south east). Lovely😊

Mumofyellows · 12/08/2024 14:09

It's 25.5 degrees in here but the back doors are open and there a bit of a breeze flowing through. Heading to Croatia on holiday tonight, it'll be hotter there but thank goodness our apartment has air con!

HowardTJMoon · 12/08/2024 14:05

32° outside, 25° inside. It's a new build and I noticed last year that it's slow to heat up when the weather's hot but it takes ages to cool down as well. I had all the windows open first thing this morning but once it got hotter outside than inside I sealed it all up and closed the curtains on the south facing side.

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 12/08/2024 14:00

Alexa tells me it's 23.6° in my lounge. I've got the front and back doors open and the ceiling fan on.
Also in Berks, where it's apparently 31° outside.

wickerpram · 12/08/2024 13:59

22 degrees - Northumberland. Old farmhouse.

Killingoffmyflowersonebyone · 12/08/2024 13:54

Temperature outside: 28 (as of 12:00, according to the BBC).

Temperature inside right now 19 (but I have AC units throughout the house that I switched on this morning)

Xmasbaby11 · 12/08/2024 13:45

21.5 in Sheffield. It’s 26 outside. It’s a Victorian house that generally keeps cool, so lovely in the summer and hard to heat the rest of the year!

OhmygodDont · 12/08/2024 13:45

Just checked the garden house and it’s a cool 23 in comparison.

virgocatlover · 12/08/2024 13:44

29c inside, 30c outside

NE Lincs, 29 outside and 28 in my office - we do have a breeze which is helpful but still warm.

It feels stuffy inside but one dog seems to be staying cool by splooting on the cool hard floor...the other one is outside laying on the lawn because he likes the heat (as long as he doesn't need to move). Bowls of cool fresh water everywhere!

Splooting

Marvellous word!

Droolylabradors · 12/08/2024 13:43

Cobblersorchard · 12/08/2024 13:38

About 20 no hotter anyway, it’s a thatched cottage. We still use a normal duvet in summer, and butter always stays hard!

Yes I slept under a duvet last night. Though it was the warmest night we have had in ages. We live rurally by a river so if there's any chilled air to be found, it's with us!

Wore my jumper walking the dog by the river at 5.30am!

29 in the living room/kitchen/hallway, 26.5 in the bedroom at the back with the curtains shut. 32 outside, apparently.

I need to nip out but that will require getting dressed, so it can wait.

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 😀

  1. I feel fortunate as I have a cool flat but outside it is 28 today.
