Winter 2025/2026 - Cold or Mild?

Frost this morning here, first time there's a hint of condensation on the windows. So cold it triggered the +1.5C boost on the heating at 4am.
Soon as the heating is on more than it's off it's time to close the windows and put the dehumidifier on.

Cold again today. Barely 4℃ but at least there is only a light breeze. It's been raining since around 17.00 yesterday so with all the rain we have had the past week or so hopefully the rivers and reservoirs will be topped up somewhat. We have actually had 178.8mm of rain this month which is roughly a third of the total for the year so far and let's face it, we badly need it because the river Spey that flows through the village is even below it's normal summer level. I have seen rocks that I didn't even know where theree and seen fishermen in waders wade across where normally the water level would be above their heads!!

If I go out anywhere at this time of the year it is thin fleece or vest, a thicker fleece, a fleece gilet and a wind/waterproof jacket. Lined trousers as well.
i wish i had , i wore jeans a thick fleece lined hoodie with a rain coat over the top still too cold , was out from 10:20 - 17:15 when we eventually got home had a boiling shower to warm up.
Was it sunny/dry up there this weekend or wet?
well to add the coldness , office this morning someone has turned the heating off over the weekend and they wont put it back on today , currently sat here in a hoodie , Hood up and another one over my legs. is this just a case of me getting old i remember in my 20s just wearing shorts all year round now its got to be hot for me to do it
they'd be putting the heating back on or they could explain to my line manager why i'm away home again!
think am at that point i am on my last week of been here tho before moving on to new pastures , and my own home office
you're last week in the place and you're sat there baltic, with more layers on you than an onion.....you're naw right in the head. if that heating hadn't been sorted by 9:30 i'd have been taking myself away somewhere warmer!
Down side now is there is no legal limit to how cold or hot it can be in an office , there are only guidelines now
I remember once many years ago several of us walking out of a nightshift as the dayshift had used all the gas bottle heating up during the day.
Yes we lost a night's pay. Yes the company lost probably thousands in production costs. And yes, the next night there was plenty of heating...
It might only be guidance now but I'd be throwing the health and safety at work law at them. It has to be comfortable, and if the temp has dropped below 16c in an office, it isn't.
just put a jumper on... theres no health issues at 16c if it drops below 16c and your not doing physical work you can complain though., 16c should be the minimum legally required for office workers.
13c if your actually working.
I;ve been in warehouses colder than that.... I remember working in a coat

I worked in a factory, a pre war building that had holes in the roof and buckets for when it rained. It was just above zero when we did it. I don't actually consider office work work.

A fair few years ago we did the same one. Nightshift we all walked out , we didn't get paid either but it screwed company up for days
