What Yate weather does to a conservatory
Each square below is the average room temperature for one hour of one month, worked out from every hour of 2024 and 2025 at Yate's coordinates. Switch between roofs to see the afternoon block of amber and plum shrink. Outside, July averaged 17.7°C and the warmest hour reached 31.9°C; inside a shut polycarbonate room the model's hottest hour was 48°C.

The hours you get back
A heater can rescue a chilly hour. Nothing cheap rescues a 31°C one. So the useful measure is how many waking hours stay at or under 25°C: in Yate that is 3,756 a year under polycarbonate and 4,796 under an insulated panel roof, roughly 1,040 hours handed back.
The worst hours, above 30°C, fall from 602 to 36. A glass roof manages 749.

When the heat peaks in Yate
July is the problem month here: 50% of its waking hours top 28°C under polycarbonate, 9% under panels. Spring and early autumn matter too, when the sun is still strong but nobody expects to open the doors.

Winter in Yate
Winter here bottoms out in January at an average of 4.2°C (coldest hour -5.4°C). Keeping 19°C while the room is in use costs about £409 a year in electricity under polycarbonate and £352 under the panel roof, 1,555 against 1,338 kWh.
We would not sell the roof on that difference alone. The glass walls keep losing heat either way; what changes most is that the room stops cooking in summer and a smaller heater copes in winter.

Fitting day
Plan on a single day for most Yate roofs, usually a second for a P-shape. We take the old roof away the same day and leave the room swept. The fitting day walks through it hour by hour.
