Degree day reports

Help with measurements and reports

  • Measuring and reporting on variations in outside temperatures to enable building designers and users to relate a building's energy consumption to the weather

  • Helping you to monitor energy saving measures, and to plan and use buildings more effectively

  • Particularly useful for building heating purposes

  • Available for 18 regions across the UK

  • Data are complied monthly and are normally published within five working days of the end of the previous month

The base temperature used is 15.5 °C, and four sets of figures are provided for each region:

  • Actual value for the month

  • Monthly mean value

  • The relationship between the actual figure and mean value, expressed as a percentage

  • Values for the corresponding month in the previous year
