How cold is it where you are?

Just thought I’d start a thread as it would be interesting to see the different temperatures across the uk (well maybe not interesting, but feel free to comment if you want!)

its currently -9 here. It’s absolutely freezing and it feels like a horrible damn/wet cold. We have the heating on atm and hot water bottles and it’s still chilly. Interestingly, I have friends in another city and the temperature is lower but still cold (-5) and they said it doesn’t feel particularly colder than normal.

whats the temperature like where you are?

Currently 0 here in the SW.
-5 is higher than -9, not lower. Where about a are you? Northerly I guess from the difference in temp to here

Yeah that’s what I meant about my friend too! It’s cold by temperature but she said it doesn’t feel awful and freezing like you would expect for that temperature, whereas it feels so cold here!

Zero outside apparently - central London
It looks as if all the snow that settled last night has melted - but it was magical last night, Trafalgar Square had lots of crunchy snow, quite a rare sight.
Took my friend about two and a half hours to get home to south London though - normally a half hour journey.

MajorCarolDanvers · 12/12/2022 22:59

-6C in Fife

FettleOfKish · 12/12/2022 23:01

Plump82 · 12/12/2022 23:07

I'm North Lanarkshire. It's been -6 according to my thermometer and I definitely wouldn't describe it as damp, wet cold. Today's the day I've had the heating on the most. My windows were all frozen shut this morning and outside is frozen solid.

mrsmacmc · 12/12/2022 23:09

-9 central belt Scotland 🥶 🥶 🥶 Ddog had his fleece and jacket on when we went for a very quick last sniff. I've turned into my mother and put a hot water bottle in the bed to take the chill off the sheets.....
