Just wondering how they work it out.
Is the temperature taken as an average over 24 hours?
It might drop to say, minus 10 over night then rise to say plus 5 during daylight hours.0 -

The Cold Weather Payments scheme for 2012/13 ends on Sunday (31/03/13) so unless any one particular area in the UK is already in a period of cold weather (a daily average of 0c or below for seven consecutive days) then no further payments can be made.
I'd imagine there will be a few triggers by Sunday night, mainly for the north west of the country.0 -

I'm hoping my area will trigger again before sunday. Daytime temp has been -4 C for almost a week now.
I've not had the heating off for 5 days. It's costing me £3.50 a day for gas alone, which the £25 will just about cover.
The snow is back in full force again, this morning, although the wind, thank gawd, has dropped.Debt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?
