Every year it seems to be the same, we have the longest day June 21 or thereabouts and you can count on one hand how many days you've actually spent not wearing a cardi, shrug, light jacket or warm fleece and have gone bare legged in sandals and a sun dress.

So far my tally is one!

We've had a couple of days away and the house is freezing. The warmest room ie the one with only 1 outside wall shows a temp of 19 which means the other rooms ie the living room is about 14 .

So with leaden grey skies outside, and a shower of rain...the heating is well and truly on.

I'm cold here too. It looks lovely outside but there is a very cold Northerly wind so if I open the windows it is very chilly indoors.
I am sure that this house has become much colder in the summer since the cavity wall insulation was put in. I wouldn't mind it keeping us cool if it is very hot outside but it is not.

Freezing here too. We had the heating on for 2 hours last night it was bloody freezing. Why did we move so far north again? Wink

NW, windy and grey. I have worn short sleeves on about 7 occasions this year...

We are so desperate, we are thinking of trading our tent for a caravan...

It's boiling hot in Yorkshire, haven't had the heating on for weeks. Currently sitting here in shorts and a vest.
So not really a north/south divide - though I can see how yorks would seem southern if you're in Scotland

Kent, boiling. I am really quite suntanned just from doing the garden.
I haven't had the heating on since about February.

Wow - I didn't realise it was so different up North! Mind you, I haven't really gone north of Bristol for over a decade! Grin

I'm in Devon, we turned the heating off at the end of March but have had the gas fire on some evenings up until about a month ago. I am currently sitting in a T shirt and shorts, with the window and back door open, feeling comfortable for the first time today as it's been so hot. The kids have all smelt of suncream all week!

I think I'll stick to living down here. Hope your cockles warm up soon OP. Smile

I am a northern, now living in the south, I would never go back up north as I wouldnt be able to cope with the weather. (It's been blooming boiling here today)

We've got the heating on too. We've probably had three 'summer' days this year. The number of times I've had to unwind the washing from the line or from the sheep field because of the wind is ridiculous.
I'm counting down the months and days until I can move away from here - 23 months and six days. Can't bloody wait!

Birmingham, IMO, hasn't been all that great today. Not all day anyway. I was up and at the hospital early this morning and if I hadn't had a hoodie on, I would of been chilly with the winds. Especially when the sun was hiding. Even DS2 (3yo) done his jacket up saying he was cold at around 11.30!

It did warm up in the afternoon though once the sun came back out. Wasn't chilly enough for heaters, and hasn't been since around the end of April!

Today could of been down to me being ill though, but DS said he was cold so I assumed it wasn't just me as he is fine. It wouldn't of been too bad if not for the winds!

I think Scotsnet has had a weekly thread on this. Last week I posted something quietly optimistic about the weather, i actually wore sandals once last week. But now we are back in sweaters and wool socks again.
As a foreigner from warmer places, I have turned the heat lower and lower, and set the clock for less and less time. Trying to toughen up! Turned it off last week and trying to keep it off.

Still have the winter duvet, the winter jammies, and a hot water bottle at night. Still wearing a thermal undershirt even on the days I tell myself I can do without a cardi or jumper (which I usually regret).

I think that in Northern England regions, it's a Pennine divide at the moment.

It's been warm and dry in Hants for weeks on end now. I have worn summer dresses/bare legs, gone out dog walking in T-shirt and shorts....I need more summer clothes.

It's almost too dry here, garden is parched. Used up half a bottle of suncream already. (yeah, smug smuggy smuggerson, that's me Wink)
