What Date to Put Heat on, & Wind Farms?

I waited until the last day of September last year, to put on radiators. It felt too cold at that point. Feel cross now as physically cold for the first time since summer. Thermometer 21c. Annoyed that we are reliant on Russian gas. How did we come to this? Should we be campaigning to build wind farms to supply local electricity to heat us in winter?

20,000 in UK die of hypothermia.

This one's for the put on a jumper sect.

Are people dying of hypothermia at 21c though?

I normally set the heating to timed early October. Will definitely be stringing it out this year though. We have our heating set to 18-18.5c when in use so certainly wouldn't come on as it's 22c inside.

Don't think we put our heating on last year until November. September isn't a cold month at all. I definitely wouldn't need to put it on then.

Blimey I didn't realise if I put a cardigan on in September when it's about 19-20C I was risking hyperthermia
