Experts SLAM the World Health Organization's advice to set your home thermostat at 18C - and insist your house needs to be at least 20C to keep you warm this winter
The World Health Organization's (WHO) recommended temperature for your home is a chilly 18°C (64.4°F). However, experts have slammed the global health body's recommendation, saying this could lead to illness and poor health. In order to stay warm and safe this winter, health experts instead say the thermostat should be set to at least 20°C (68°F). That's just slightly warmer than the UK's preferred temperature of 19.5°C (67.1°F), which was revealed in a survey of 2,000 Britons. And it's not just experts who have slammed the WHO's suggested thermostat temperature, with several members of the public flocking to X (formerly Twitter) to express their outrage. One enraged commenter wrote: 'I'll determine the temperature I want my thermostat based on my preference and it's no one's business but me.'
