I wish I knew what was the root cause of it all. Seems madness. It's struggling to get above 16/17c last few days/nights and I got all rads blasting

Ours isn't as bad as yours. But it isn't great.I wish I knew what was the root cause of it all. Seems madness. It's struggling to get above 16/17c last few days/nights and I got all rads blasting
It doesn't take long at all to basically fall to a degree above outdoors if the heating is off.
Strong. Suspicion it's the windows.
Need to get round to seeing if I can reseal.
Here's an example
This is a tiny room with one double window.
So it's been heating all day but sharply drops in 5 hours.
This is not the worst room.

I checked around all the windows last night and couldnt find any obvious leak/airflow but what do I know. It's getting very expensive now. Gotta have it warm when the kids stay over. Rest of time I'm gonna have to leave it off. Easier said than done.
For me I can feel the cold around the window (and front door).
I can't see how else it can lose heat so quickly.
Considering getting someone (if possible) to assess it. Because it doesn't feel like the EPC rating is correct at the moment.
The updates through the day are even more nuts but sadly push it further north by 50-100 miles so the south would mostly miss out.

The South always miss3s out on big events these days. We get an odd dusting here and there when the rest of the UK gets nowt yet when the big fronts merge its never over us.

Haha you're not wrong.
Would be nice to have a big event down here again. I grew up in Plymouth, born in 78, I can remember many many winters back in the 80s where we got buried in snow. I've got pictures still where I was rolling up 2 foot in diameter snowballs out the back of our house. An event like that in the south these days is once every 2 decades.

Most likely appears to be close to seasonal averages no?Met Office Deep Dive yesterday saying rest of Winter is looking more likely to be dry and cold.
We miss out in Gosport always, protected by hills to the North and Isle of Wight to the south it's quite rare to get it here in any decent amount. During that 'beast from the east' I was in Torquay though and we had a good 6 inches there.

Once every decades? Never more like it it snowed for an hour last winter, it lasted a day or two and that was the first time its snowed in 10 years. Havn't seen an actual blizzard since the 90's. Its over as a weather event.

House was 12C when I got home. Figure it was time for some heating. Not too fussed about the 10C in my gaming room though, funny to see the PC running so cool.
BBC brought it down to sleet now for use Wednesday but it is a change from the mild weather they were forecasting. We'll probably see a few revisions of that as we get closer to the time.
Dunno - 75% of models/runs through the day are bringing in the cold, some going for crazy cold, but keeping the milder moist air well south of the UK. Others are bringing where the 2 fronts interact in further north.
