You're right! Readings this morning show a minimum of 3.4°C, and a grass
minimum of 2.4°C.

These are the lowest August minimum & grass temperatures in over 5 years.

Me poor chillies won't be happy.

Despite the unbroken sunshine this morning, it's taking a long time to warm
up.

(10:35), 14.1°C, RH 80%, DP 10.4°C, 1026 hPa (R), Wind 4 mph NNE.

My chillies are now three inches high. Don't know why I bothered really, not
a chance outside up here.
Enjoy the last of the summer wine, I'm sticking to my autumn forecast of
"warm n'wet". Might invest in a new pair of wellies as I fancy we are going
to need them. Only 6C here last night with the wind keeping teh temperature
up.

Will do you use any renewable energy supplements up there?
You know a turbine some solar panels. I always feel that a south facing
conservatory is a fantastic heat collector.

In fact does any contributor to this NG use solar, heat pumps and wind?

I might make this a new thread.

Wind turbine - no thank you! Too bloomin noisy and not enough constant wind.
Solar - yes, I've thought about that. It would work on our SW facing roof a
treat, but the cost - pay back is high.
If installation becomes cheaper then a definite YES from me!
