I think it was argon they used. My current living room gets direct sun at this time of year and yesterday and you could feel it. In the summer the opposite and the house remains pleasantly cool with the much higher sun. No solar panels for obvious reasons. 

Very early for heating to come on and i know yesterday was very cold but thankfully the conservatory did reachec 27.6c without much sun and kept the house temps very comfortable warm 23-24C.  In the past I used to put heating on few times in end of September but now no more until Octdober.   If we do get Oct 1995 repeat then no heating needed for whole month until November.  My old house was often 24-26c indoors that year, 

At least in the south, and with current weather trends, I wouldn't even be thinking about C/H until late October.

Crazy ,just put a jumper on .I am still in a T shirt,yet I see people walking about in fleeces and padded jackets.🤷

Mine went on for about 10 seconds. Not because I was cold, not even because it was a pre-season test, but because my Google thermostat lost connection with the heat link (which is attached to the boiler), and after 15 minutes of faffing I got the connection back... I'd been twisting the dial, so it went on for a few seconds - just enough time for the boiler to fire up and for the pump to start running.

It's off again now and will be for at least another month, I suspect! (When it's on I have it set to 17, it's currently 19.5 in the room where the thermostat's placed).

I wear just shorts all the time only when i go to bed i put on the sleeveless shirt, not worn jacket since March as a am strict season follower, March 21st to 21st September NO jacket or jumper required unless if there snow in April only then I just put on.  Any bonus warmth after the 21st September then no jumper or jacket needed and continue with shorts outside and indoors.  Even yesterday went to the post office in short and sleeve shirt as it too early to wear jacket or jumper.  Be smart about trying to reduce unnecessary jumpers and jackets washing in the summer months..  My wife used to wear dressing gown during the summer up to 2023 because she feel cold but since the conservatory built she never used it since early May and still not using it this month so far.

Since I had new boiler fitted last year Its on the thermostat. My old system was all manual.   It came on again this morning, and its nice to dry the towels on the radiator.  I could turn the temp setting down so it wont come on. 

What with the hot weather it's been over 25C downstairs for weeks and higher upstairs 28C and over. Eventually you get used to it, so when it cools down you notice it. Currently it's 22C downstairs which is OK. 21C and it would start to feel chilly. I hate the cold. I don't want it below 21C. 🙂🙂🙂

Yes it does feel this way after being used to 27-32c room temps here.  Currently 32c in the conservatory, 27C living room and 24 rest of the house.  Nice weather today and i just couldn't believe the weird heat haters still angry about the warm temps of low 20s?  Why they are like that as with the gas bills going up they don't realised that any warm weather are welcome to keep the heating off. They wanted it no sun, very low cold temps and wet September as if they want to turn the heating on early and detest wearing summer clothes?  Advantage of summer season, less clothes to wash, feel lighter by wearing summer clothes and no heating which is important factor due to current high bills. 

Yes, we're at that time of year when the days shorten noticeably: we lose daylight at the rate of about 30 minutes per week at this point in the cycle. Sunset is over an hour earlier by the end of this month v the start.

As the weather has been warmish we've not really seen it get cold indoors yet, although the dull, windy day made it noticeably less comfortable.

Strange if the AC doesn't cool down that much?  Those temperatures this month does not need AC or heating yet?  I stopped using the fan once the bedsroom temps below 25C threshold as above that it on all night.    It now 23C in the bedroom which is extremely nice and warm to sleep in.  

In October it goes up to 19 C for the winter, who sets it at 21 C?? Maybe rich folk 🤔

Wives…. 😉  More likely 22c in this household 🙂

Currently 19.2c.   Warmer upstairs and actually pleasant to sleep in so would be foolish to put the heating on yet I think. Looks a bit milder too the next few days, but can see the possibility of limited use  next week. 

Downstairs now is generally around 19.5C which is still fine. As a rule we don't turn the heating on until October and even then the thermostat is set to 18.5C max. In theory it will drop below that before end of September but we just put extra layers on.

Definitely as you get older you feel the chill more! 

Certainly!

Living in a thatched house (new build 1998), it is notable how cool the house was last summer. Downstairs at least. There is more sun getting through the downstairs south-facing windows from this time of year to March, which makes a difference in solar gain even at midwinter when it's sunny. The thatch is a good insulator for all weathers, though as DEW has said it's expensive to rethatch. I had the ridge redone this summer, which means I'll get another ten years before the big thatch, which will be done with reed. I can't, of course, have solar panels on the roof, which would help with hot water and so on. Swings and roundabouts. That said, when it comes to renewing solar panels in what is it? twenty years, that's going to be an expense of note for those who have them.

The big change for me was getting an electric blanket for the bed and another to put over when sitting on the sofa. That saves heating with radiators and is cosy. The office at the bottom of the garden has a small oil radiator which warms the space. Nothing worse than typing or whatever with cold hands.

I have those 2 small oil filled radiators in the conservatory and i used them to turn on in the mornings for a short while at max then to minimum before turn off for the rest of the day.  I do this to warm up a bit then open the french doors to allow the currently warm living room to join in and warm up. It around 17-18C during cloudy days to 20C during frosty sunny days but goes down to single digit maximums when I am on 7am to 7pm 2 day shift so it stayed closed the french doors and heating off rest of the house until I get home.  The sun cannot warm the conservatory alone from November to mid February so need the heaters to boost it.   

I'm hoping to get into October before I have to put my Rayburn on. What with the price of oil now. 🙂🙂😵😵

I wear shorts inside all year round. Perfectly comfortable at 18C if you have a jumper on too. My legs don't seem to feel the cold much, not nearly as much as bare arms do. Outside I usually wear shorts except in the coldest winter weather.
