Give me the Winter temp just not with the depressing 24 hour darkness
winter is fine as long as your inside
Houses in the UK were built to retain mold only.
Winter itself is completely fine, the problem is the economic situation which means people can’t afford to run their heating.
Seasons are worse in the UK because their buildings were designed to retain suffering.
I don’t get this. There is no heat to retain in the winter, which is why when we make our own our houses get nice and toasty
The buildings are designed to retain heat. But, they were mostly built before insulation was widely used, and the type of construction we have can cause issues with damp if you add cavity insulation after the fact
Our houses do get extremely hot in the summer because of this. after a while the bricks become pretty thermally saturated, and the sun has no issue heating the inside up after that point
It also means in the winter, when your bricks lose their heat, the lack of insulation can cause homes to get cold quicker than homes where it is installed
Overall, our town and city building designs are, mostly for retaining heat, and they do a fairly good job of this.
It would be better moving forward, for energy efficiency as well as comfort to get all our houses insulated fully, this will keep the inside a more consistent temperature when the temperature fluctuates massively as it tends to do these days
UK houses are fine between 18-20 degrees
UK houses are designed to duplicate the weather that is outside… so if it’s 20°C outside, it’s 40°C inside… also if it’s -8°C outside it’s probably -16°C inside, unless you’re fortunate/rich enough to stick heating on, but then your loft floods from all the trapped condensation due to lack of proper ventilation.
Our houses are perfectly designed to maintain misery.
British houses are solely designed to be cheap for the builder, be that some bloke in 1935 or Bovis in 2018. They don’t retain heat in winter. They should, but they don’t because they were piss poor quality even when they were built, and now they’re old.
They are on average among the worst of any in a rich European country. We pay a fortune in this country for basically the plot of land with permission to have *a dwelling* on it. The property itself is just a shed.
My bedroom hit 28° last week lol. My living room drops to 14°in winter
We are more than fine in winter, never falls below 18°
Turn the heating on maybe a handful of times there’s just no need
Heat travels hot to cold not the other way around so the statement should be buildings aren’t designed to retain temperature.
In winter you’re losing all your heating you’re generating through the structure and in summer you’re gaining heat inside the structure from outside during the day that has been cooled down overnight but can’t prevent the thermal conductivity.
Speak for yourself, I barely need to have the heating on in my new build during winter months
UK homes retain everything but heat. Mould mostly.
Given how expensive everything else is, it surprises me that most households don’t just buy a portable AC unit for like £150. It’s obviously expensive but *relatively speaking* it’s very cheap. You pay way more than that for your heating over the span of a year. And those things last years.
As it stands now, we can get away from summer. No need to run the heaters, can even have lukewarm showers as it is quite warm at times, energy bill is low, solar panels start producing electricity, etc.
Winter is bad, poor insulation, high energy costs – a lot of which results from poor insulation, solow panels stop working (almost), etc. Summers are way better.
As long as it’s between 0 and 20 I’m fine.
About 2years ago, we had pretty mild winter till Feb hit, and it was freezing for weeks, we had snow for a few days on top…the day my parents decided to go off on a cruise for 3 weeks, was the day the boiler decided to die…having a brother in law who deals with boilers and can get ours fixed free thought it best to wait and get it done the day before my parents got back. First day wasn’t so bad but then it really hit, was soo cold you felt like you couldn’t do anything at all. The worst bit was taking a dump as having my bare ass on that freezing toilet seat. Thankfully I have a big loveable cuddly dog who got under the duvet with me and just watched movies for 3 weeks. Both sisters visited over those 3 weeks and both stayed for like 2mins as it was colder inside the house than outside. I would rather go through a whole year living like that than go have anything above 30 degrees.
I am fine in winter. I literally have not used heating for over a decade. My room is constantly 22C+, gets up to 33C in the summer which is absolute cancer, and even throughout most of winter it stays above 18C which is perfect. And when it does get colder in my room I just put on some sweatpants or close the window, ggwp
I love winter
Get out. Side
I’m on the rest of the world’s side. The heat is fine, I love it tbh
Winter is an issue for two reasons.
1. Houses are plenty warm with the heating on. The heating is too expensive though.
2. The government is shit at dealing with icy conditions.
Winters fine in the UK, just a blanket and a cuppa and I’m good
There’s no heat to be trapped
Oh my god so true. Designed to retain heat in Summer only. Winter designed to leak the heat out.
Lets face it, English people are just a bit dramatic when it comes to the weather.

The energy companies got extremely greedy. They should be forced to reduce their prices or be tax a ridiculous amount to reduce their profits. Over £1b in profits when people were struggling is just sick.
Our housing stock is rubbish and overpriced most get too hot because of lack of ventilation and don’t retain heat in winter because of poor insulation installation or some have none at all. New builds are good at retaining heat but not at staying cool during heatwaves.
To be honest my house retains heat a little too well. It’s great in the winter but in the summer I’d be in trouble without my Air Conditioning
My house is always kinda cold. Even in teh summer. Unless its gets over 30

Winters fine, don’t know why everyone complains
