Have you caved?

Please send one report per household. You can come back and update it on this device any time.

Have you started putting your heating on again yet?

Just the first half, like S7 or SW1A. If you type a full postcode we only keep the first half.

What kind of home?

How's your area doing?

Weather, fuel poverty and reports for any postcode district. Looking one up doesn't change your report.

The national picture

The caving curve

Share of reporters who have turned the heating on this autumn, by date, 15 September to 30 November

The headline, the curve and each district combine a weather model with the reports people send; the more reports, the more they count. Reports come from people who chose to take part, and a district appears only once it has at least 5.

  • What we collect: your answers to the questions above, and only the first half of your postcode. No name, no email, no address.
  • How we recognise you: when you first report, your browser is given a random ID and keeps it in local storage, so you can come back and update your answer instead of adding a new one. It isn't linked to who you are.
  • What's public: only totals and percentages. Nobody, including us on this page, can see an individual report. A district only appears once 5 or more people there have reported.
  • Spam protection: Cloudflare Turnstile checks you're a person when you first report. Cloudflare and our database provider see your IP address to do that and to limit abuse; we don't store it with your answers.
  • No tracking: no advertising, no analytics, no tracking cookies.
  • Where it lives: in a Supabase database in the EU (Frankfurt). The site is served by Cloudflare.
  • Area lookups: when you look up a district, your browser asks postcodes.io for its place name and Open-Meteo for its recent weather. They see your IP address and the district, as any website would, and nothing is stored by us.
  • Who might see the figures: we may share aggregated figures, never individual reports, with journalists, researchers or charities working on fuel poverty.
  • Changing your mind: you can update your answer above at any time. If you've cleared your browser data, we can no longer tell which report was yours.
  • Contact: [email protected]. Write to us to ask a question, or if you want a report deleted and can no longer do it yourself.
