Has anyone put their central heating on yet?

What’s the acceptable temperature to put the heating on? It’s 16 indoors right now. I’m more than comfy in that.

When you feel cold have a look at the temp. that way you will know for next year.

Complex question. (Men and women are different)
In UK winter We always designed room conditions to 20 (or21)C Dry Bulb, 14 Wet Bulb and 50% Relative humidity.
So if its down to 16C Dry Bulb your wife must be complaining by now. So if you want to remain married you better put it on.

Here is a Psychrometric chart to show her how clever you are :)

It really was a beautiful day, clear blue skies, one of my guys worked in a long sleeved T shirt all day, definitely got some sun burn

I suppose its possible for ambient air to be cold but UVs to be high, hence sunburn.
Any shootings ?

Seems quite low to me. Certainly a lot lower than ours.
