We're sitting under duvets to give the heating a break!

I haven't put the heating on at all today, although its freezing outside. I think we peaked at a balmy 1⁰C today. I'll have to put the heating on tonight though. That or dress like an Eskimo.

But what temperature is it IN your house? Surely you don't mean it's 1 degree?! It was 10 degrees in my office at work today (school, just re-opened after the holidays today), took all day to warm up to 18.5.

ChaChingCherry · 05/01/2026 16:51

14 ... and I'm not warm

Newmeagain · 05/01/2026 16:53

I got back today after being away, so it’s cold! 14 in my bedroom currently. Slightly warmer downstairs.

ResusciAnnie · 05/01/2026 16:53

I don’t even know how to find that out. The underfloor heating is on in the half of the house that has it. I think the radiators are on in the rest but it’s v cold still! The underfloor heating control say 17 but who knows if that’s actually how warm it is?

PumpkinSparkleFairy · 05/01/2026 16:53

DC’s room is 19 right now - think the thermostat downstairs is set to 18. Very nippy here!

Statsquestion1 · 05/01/2026 16:55

honestly, I have no idea what temperature it is but it’s very toasty. The thermostat is set at about 18° but the heating isn’t on so it must be above that. It’s 2° outside and I have no idea how cold it is until I go out there. 🤣

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 05/01/2026 16:57

25 plus the fires are on. I’m still in my coat from work.

Occasionalcyclist · 05/01/2026 16:59

17 at the moment. Heating came on a little while ago and the thermostat is set to 18 for the evening, might nudge it a bit higher as it's been so cold outside today

NellieJean · 05/01/2026 16:59

21 and it’s toasty warm inside freezing outside.

sesquipedalian · 05/01/2026 17:01

Got the wood burning stove going - it’s toasty here (snow on the ground outside).

Simonjt · 05/01/2026 17:04

20.3°C, its about -6°C outside

HelpMeGetThrough · 05/01/2026 17:05

Just adjusted the radiators and upped the thermostat to 21.5 which is in the hallway, which is the coldest part of the house.

That bugger isn’t going off tonight!!

Have also checked the mushroom cams on the windows and put them on “winter mode”.

CNDflag · 05/01/2026 17:05

18.5

MorphingintoMargo · 05/01/2026 17:06

The heating is on but is struggling to get up to 18.5 degrees (thermostat temp), so I’m lighting the log burner. The boiler, doors and windows are only 5 years old and we have a load of insulation in the loft. Not sure what else we can do to make it more efficient.
Temp outside is currently -1, but feels more like -6.

CoubousAndTourmaIet · 05/01/2026 17:07

Inside about 16, outside is -5.

isitmytime · 05/01/2026 17:12

19 it’s pretty ideal but I’m very tired so I’m under a throw to feel extra cosy.

MiddleAgedDread · 05/01/2026 17:15

16.6, just about to boost the heating!!

Lonelycrab · 05/01/2026 17:15

16

Just turned heating on, it’s been off since this morning. Hampshire and it’s currently -2 outside.

Dontcallmescarface · 05/01/2026 17:17

22 everywhere apart from the hallway where it's around 12 at the moment. There is a gap between the front door and the frame so cold air is coming through. I've just pulled the curtain across so hopefully it will start to warm up a bit. Roll on Friday when the LL has promised me it will be sorted.

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 05/01/2026 17:20

20.4 although that is in the living room where it is warmest. The bedrooms are a lot cooler but I don't have a thermostat up there, so I'm guessing that it is about 16.

iamthehotstepper · 05/01/2026 16:51

  1. I'm so cold, can't wait for the heating to kick on at 5.30, I've been WFH with gloves on and a hot water bottle on my lap! I won't put it on when I'm here alone in the day. Popping out to buy a little heater for my office later!

I bought a heated throw for when I'm WFH and it's a game changer.

Rubyupbeat · 05/01/2026 17:25

22 but we have stomach bugs and feel freezing

DrowningInThings · 05/01/2026 17:48

22 but it was really sunny this afternoon, and we have black floor tiles which heat up in the sun!

LadyGreySpillsTheTea · 05/01/2026 17:54

We have a major fuck-off power cut - not in the UK - so no heat, no light, no cooking, no warm water, and it‘s -5 outside, down to -7 or so tonight. Our living room is currently at 12 degrees and the house is still cooling down so prob at 9/10 by tomorrow. Power won‘t be back until Thursday. I‘m not thrilled.

Illbefinejustbloodyfine · 05/01/2026 17:55

16.5. We've been outside quite a lot so it feels positively tropical!
