I'm in Oxfordshire. I am still sleeping well with several windows open. Just a cotton sheet, duvet cover and when necessary, as it was last night, the light weight quilt. smile

I've switched the electric towel rail on in the shower room on a couple of mornings recently!
Do like a warm towel 😊

Hot water bottle last night in N Surrey

Warm socks last night Outer London/Kent

Definitely feels like the start of Autumn. I always sleep with windows open but last night felt my ultra thin quilt was not quite enough. We had such unseasonably warm weather in very early Spring that it feels as though the seasons have all slipped back a month.

Hot water bottle on my back last night due to a little ache

V3ra ooh I’m jealous of your heated towel rail, I want one!

Had to get up in the night to put socks on!

Pulled duvet up towards dawn, when I awoke feeling cold.

What a rotten summer it's been so far this year.

School holidays are guaranteed to make a change in the weather……………

Really?

I think it’s been a good summer.

Lots of sunshine, not much rain (not enough), shorts on all the time…

Well we’re up north and it’s been the best summer fir years for us no complaints.

keepingquiet Sun 03-Aug-25 12:23:08

Still warm down here...!

It's been a good spring and summer down here in Devon.
The lack of rain is a problem now.

I've been in leggings more this week more than shorts...
suppose it all to do with where you live and feel you are blessed to see /feel the sunshine...but then there's always a drought somewhere and leaky pipes/drains don't help...

I've started putting my fluffy socks on now. It's certainly cooled off here on the North West coast. I've got a light duvet on 1 tog which is my summer one and enough for us at the moment.
Waiting for this storm that's supposed to be coming tomorrow so our open window that faces the sea will not doubt be closed.
It would be nice to have some warm weather but it's more like Autumn now.

still just have a light cover on my bed, sun's out now but there's a wind getting up, I will have to bring my deck chairs indoors and secure the garden table...

What about the 2 heatwaves we’ve had and the third one due in a week’s time?
I’m assuming you are in the north of the country? Down here (N Bucks) the grass is only beginning to green up again!

We have put on the heating.
Though I am not feeling great anyway.
One of the radiators not working. Oh goodie...

pably15 Sun 03-Aug-25 13:06:10

If I let him my OH would have the heating on all day...he has alzheimers and feels the cold so much

GrannyIris5 Sun 03-Aug-25 13:08:24

We had condensation on the bedroom windows on Thursday or Friday, I was shocked.
Summer weight duvet is still in the cupboard, just using the cover, but not sure how much longer before it gets filled again.

Warm summer down south, hence our hosepipe ban, back up to 26/7 next week.
The evenings and mornings are slightly cooler, not so humid, windows and patio door open during the day.
