No heating, unless bed socks count. One cold wet thundery day I gazed wistfully at the wood-burner though.

Snow on the mountain tops at least three times in the last fortnight. Once staying there all day instead of melting away. Outside temp on drive home from work tonight measured 8 degrees at 10pm. Fire lit tonight when we got home. I get hayfever from grass pollen and this year the sneeze season has been prolonged I presume due to the cooler wetter weather meaning grass isn’t browning off and going to seed as soon as usual.  – Queenstown.

It has been such an awful “summer” in Dunedin. Cloud every day, rain almost every day. Used the fire twice. Have worn my down jacket numerous times. 

Only twice in the car on the way to work early morning – Wellington.

Been horrible down here been using heat pump and nearly got firewood in!

Is there and end to this horrible cold summer?

I have put our central heating on a couple of times in our part of Whangarei, mainly in December when the early morning temp was around the 10/12 deg, since then I have not although it came close. Did not run it for long just to make it more comfy while waiting for the heat from the sun to take over and then all doors and windows came open SW wind permitting.

Does the heater in your car count? We have had to turn that on each morning before going to work and we liv in Auckland.

Bring on the air conditioning it’s getting humid now

its been a very wet Summer but not cold enough to need heating
