23 down, 25 up this afternoon... 23 outside and the sun's returned, so it'll warm up a bit more before the day is done.
I did, briefly, get the living room temperature down to 19C by the "fan on the patio" trick first thing, but boy... as soon as I turned it off and closed the French window, bam! Up shot the temperature. There's still a heck of a lot of stored heat in this old house, it seems.

Today the coolest living room temps at 23.7C and 21C over ngiht after between 25-33C for over a month.  Had a carpenter fitted the slate gray laminate flooring in the conversatory so with the doors opened for him to cut boards from 8am to 1pm that prevent it from warming up only up to 26.7C and 10.1C this morning.  It the first time i had those doors opened for 5 hours non-stop, only rarely opened for few seconds as I still go out from the kitchen side.  Notice when it opened lot of warmth easily lost in the house very fast. so using the kitchen one had no impact and doesn't suck out the warmth.  Tomororw should return to normal warmer indoor temps.

21 up and 20 down this morning, so much more comfortable than of late. That's with the windows open all day and all night as well.

30 up and 25 down... in excess of 28 outside for over 3 hours (and still is), so it's not going to fall very quickly either.

Back to having crap sleep with the portable a/c thrumming away. 🥵

EDIT: Ended up as a low of 25 upstairs last night, it's then risen again through the day today... it's still 27 up there even with a breeze picking up this afternoon. It's 24 down and still feels stuffy.

Back to pleasant 27.8C and 27C upstairs to 24C bedroom and 35.2C after 10.9C this morning in the conservatory.  2nd day warmer outside since the failed warmth that end up overcast and rather cool than forecast.

Rather cool in the house since I got back off holiday despite the sunshine.  Currently 19c, the weaker sun means the house is not heating up as well.

Yes as it help to free warm the house up and store warmth overnight lows so no more 19Cs day and night anymore here.  If hit 40C tomorrow that might be the last time to see this while doors still open, still can hit 40 any time in September if doors closed but i rather warm the house up than not.   Nice to get up in the morning no chill feeling last time was early June.

19°C is a very pleasant indoor temperature. In fact 19°C to 22°C with the windows open strikes me as quite a healthy temperature range, perhaps closer to the 22°C value if you are older or have certain health conditions.
I think the WHO cites the healthy range as 18 to 24°C with values above (and indeed below) this range as having adverse health effects for sedentary people.

Think you will be disappointed if you are expecting 27-28c outside in the Midlands tomorrow.

23 up, 22 down, with the windows open all day and all night. Yesterday's outdoor high was only 19C, the coolest for some time, but the house seems to retain warmth quite well! A bit warm for sleeping (I prefer 21 or less), but not unpleasantly warm.

The humidity is the main thing at the moment, the dewpoint rose from 16 to 18 overnight and it feels stuffy.

As for Jiries' 27C, as ever - come to Kent, it'll be roasting down here, as per the MetO text forecast for today:

"Hot, humid for some, mainly eastern parts. Maximum temperature 29 °C."

28 up and 25 down, humid as hell (18C dewpoint both inside and out). The season may have changed, but the humidity and warmth goes on!

Incredible what decent aluminium double glazed windows, plus a mostly older (150yr+) brick house will keep things cool.

4 days away including yesterday's 28c outdoors, with the windows shut but not the curtains, and arrived home last night to 21.5c downstairs...

Another crud night's sleep to come.

28C upstairs, 25C downstairs, a high of 25.8 outside (and yesterday's max was 25.9).

Cooler weather can't come soon enough, I'm dreaming of having a night where the bed isn't damp from sweat by morning!

FWIW, I've 2-year old plastic windows, A rated, and downstairs is brick and block construction, around 70 years old. You can generally get away with one hot day, but when the warmth is persistent, the humidity is high, the heat seeps in and stays. What's really needed is some lower-dewpoint air and a breeze!

We'll get the former tomorrow (but no breeze), then the wind will pick up on Thursday but the dewpoint will rise again... either/or, but not both, as it's been for most of the past 7 weeks!

House is perfect at the moment, 20-21c, though in a week or so it might get rather cold looking at the models.

Even though it's been mostly cloudy today, there's been no breeze to speak of, so it's still 25C upstairs, and that's with the windows open since yesterday! 22C downstairs and that's fine by me.

Today was the coldest max temperatures for the conservatory to only 20.7c and 22c inside.  For indoors it getting lower each day putting in danger of putting heating on if this overcast cold weather persist as not see the sun lasting more than 5mins since last Friday.
Hope next week sunny northerly will bring much warmer indoors as it will rise to low 30's and free warm up the house back to low to mid 20's.  Not had reached 30C plus since last Friday.

Still a very pleasant 19°C to 22°C indoors here despite the cool weather and cloudy conditions. I hope we might get through the vast majority of this month without any heating, but time will tell.

24C after max of 28.1C from 20.8 this morning with help from the conservatory which i closed the doors for 2 hours to get to 40.5c and re-open with aid of stand fan to speed up the warm indoors to spread upstairs as it was getting colder from a week of over cast weather now pleasant 23-24C.  Was not planning to close the doors but due to stupid clouds not supposed to be here today refused to clear off until after 11am so lost 4 hours of warming up,   This time of the year it would be around 34-35C with doors opened to the living room which last recorded last Friday near sunny day.

The first time in several weeks where a "natural" 19C was achieved in the evening upstairs! I had a super night's sleep as a result.
Currently 19 upstairs and 18 downstairs - it definitely makes a change!
