Brits are likely to experience hot weather conditions for the next 11 days as the weather maps show temperatures continuously oscillating between 22C and 24C across England. As the temperature levels rise, households have been advised to leave the loft hatch open during these days to cope up with the hot weather. 

According to the BBC Weather forecast, areas around London are likely to experience warmer days, with the mercury levels peaking at 24C on May 13, 17, 19, 20, and 21. However, the other days will remain sunny, with the BBC forecasting temperatures around 22C-23C. As warm air rises inside your home, it can become trapped. If you have loft vents or windows, opening them can help release excess heat and improve airflow.

Failure to do so could mean hot air being trapped on the second floor of your home, where you are likely trying to sleep. However, opening the loft hatch enables air to rise further away from the bedroom.

Joanna O'Loan from the Energy Saving Trust explained that it is important to do this when the air temperature outside is cooler than inside, which tends to be overnight or for a couple of hours in the early morning.

In flats, which may have windows on one side only, open doors and use a fan to encourage airflow.

Joanna told the BBC: "If you're able to invest, installing extra insulation in your home will help keep heat out in the summer as well as reduce your energy bills and usage in the winter.”

An expert from roofwindows4u.com said: "If you’re already lucky enough to have a loft room, you’ll know just how great they can be.

"Not only are they a good way to create more space in your home, but there are so many ways you can use the area, from creating a cosy loft bedroom to an office for working from home.

"But if you ever find that your loft conversion is too hot in summer and too cold in winter, you aren’t alone. In fact, struggling with temperature regulation is one of the more common complaints amongst people with loft rooms.

"As well as making your loft room much more comfortable, better temperature regulation can also make your home more sustainable and save you money on energy from heating an air conditioning in the long run."
