The old one seem gone now but to put new one for this year for latest indoor temps.  

This week despite being very poor week turn out decent and getting more sunshine combined than HP cloudy days.  Sharp blue skies allowed strong sunlight to warm up indoors of 22-25C this week while conservatory at 31-32C ranges and low 10s at nights.

Despite the cool and showery conditions here the indoor temperatures are holding up fine at around 20°C.

I would normally never have my heating switched on during the summer and so, I would normally have switched it off by now until around October which would then be my usual time for switching it back on again.

However, this year is turning out to be a completely different story as it is still quite chilly in my flat which means that I still need to have my heating switched on at the moment.

That in itself, shows just how much of a complete non-event that this so-called "summer" has now turned into.😡

25C seems to be the norm (upstairs) during the evenings over the past week, at least until I've put the portable a/c on for an hour or two. The problem is large amounts of sunshine and lack of wind which, combined with a flat roof, means it turns into an oven. It's still 20C up there this morning, and that's with the windows - except my bedroom window - having been open last night. There's no wind, of course.

And downstairs, 21C in the afternoons and evenings, which is okay (albeit a far cry from the 16.5 that I have during the winter months).

This morning I've got the French windows open and a fan blowing lovely cool air in from the garden - it was 19C in the living room first thing, and it's now down to 16.5. I'm aiming for 13, which, given it's a cool 7C outside, should be doable. At least until the sun rises enough to shine into the room!

That's the reason I aimed so low, as at this time of year it'll only remain that cold for a microsecond.

It's annoying, frankly, but I guess it's good that my hearing is still fine! I think a lack of listening to very loud music in my youth is to thank for it).

Survived the last few days without the heating, mainly as there has been some sunshine which at this time of year heats the house up well. 18-19c in the house this morning, but again with more sunshine amongst the showers we should be ok and reach 20c. 
 
A 4x1m area of our bedroom under the window is single skinned wall so added some thermal lining over the weekend, hoping that will help keep the winter chills out of the room but may also help on cold summer days.   No idea why the front of the house was built like that with single skin between the top of the ground floor windows and bottom of the 1st floor windows. If it makes a difference I will do the same with other front bedroom.

No update about my current indoor temps as I am staying at my dad home in Letchworth until tomorrow but left the doors opened so hopefully my living room is warm right now as it sunny spells with showers,   I never left it open at nights but will see tomorrow if the house still warm after cold nights mean conservatory is cooling the house down over night follow by warming up again.

Quite unusual for summer - it's 16.5 this morning downstairs, the same temperature as I set on the thermostat in winter. To have that in summer, without having windows open or fans blowing cold air in, is a rare treat indeed.

It's 18C upstairs and over the past couple of nights I've slept like a log - absolutely superb conditions for sleeping!

We switched the heating off at the beginning of May and since then it's been coolish at times downstairs but generally fine. Upstairs has been pleasantly cool. The last couple of days it has steadily cooled down so that our living room is now at 17.2C - a bit too chilly for our liking. I'm looking forward to warmer weather so we can open the windows and let some heat in. 

Even the loft room which is usually warm to hot in the summer was at 18.3C this morning. Now up to 19.2C so getting more pleasant for working at a desk. But I'm in winter clothes right now!

19C downstairs, 22C upstairs - in the strong sunshine. I'll open the windows in a bit, which should take it down to 20C or so up there. (It's 16.1 outside and rising fast).

Currently 20C. When I've looked at the indoor thermometer it's been mostly in the range 18-20C. The heating hasn't been on since the beginning of May, and only for this last week have I felt it necessary to put a sweater on while in the house.

The change to suddenly feeling the cold seems to come in the 60s in my family, and then a few years later they snuff it... perhaps it's an early warning sign!

I walked around with it, warmest is 13-14c at far end away from the storage to 9-10C where my line area  then to 5C as i stand by the entrance of the cold storage,  Poor staff who work in next line to mine had to endure with cold air draft on their back.  This week we been requesting to put doors to block it and allow correct 12C temps in our line area.  12C is fine to operate on but can feel cold if you are waiting for long time to have work line running.

Meanwhile here was 21.5C now was 24C afterr 18.5C minimum this morning.

It was nice while it lasted. Back to normal today - above-average outside, very warm inside.

22.8 outside (2C above average), 26C upstairs (very warm, considering the windows have been open all day). Looks like the portable a/c will be getting wheeled out this evening!

Came back home yesterday to greeted with warm indoors temperatures thanks to the conservatory doing a good job keeping it warm whilte outside is brutal cold and unsettled.  Was some decent sunshine yesterday so kept it at 23-24c inside.  Max highest was 40C and 18C in the conservatory while away as I left the doors open to keep the house warm. This morning 21-22C so thankfully it not stone cold indoors of 16-18C if I didn't have this built last April.  Spoke to the neighbour who look after my house totally agreed that UK Spring and summer climate is getting colder and worst than the warming of 1990's and early 2000's.  They like my consevatory and the warmth of my home now as they are older couple and wish their home is warm as well.

A wonderful night last night - 19.9 when I went to bed, no a/c needed, and it ended the night at 18. I slept very heavily for once!
It's also 18 downstairs, which is quite an achievement.
