As temperatures drop across Britain, signaling the transition from summer to autumn, the Met Office provides guidance on staying warm and healthy during the colder months.
Brits are bracing for a sharp drop in temperatures this week, signalling the switch from summer to autumn and prompting preparation for the incoming cold.
To conserve warmth in your home, one key Met Office tip is to close curtains 'at dusk', which is typically around 4pm, so as to prevent heat loss. Their advice states: "Draw your curtains at dusk to help keep the heat generated inside your rooms."They also emphasise the importance of keeping homes at a steady temperature of at least 18C, especially for individuals over 65, those with conditions like heart or lung disease, or limited mobility.
Moreover, the Met Office suggests insulating your hot water tank and pipes to retain heat, plus making sure radiators aren't concealed behind drapes or furniture.
