"You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or below over 7 consecutive days."
pasta - I've just had a look, and I received a £25 Cold Weather Payment on 13th January 2021, one the following week, and another the next month.
Don't remember it being that cold!
Lol...maybe it's like childbirth. Horrible when its happening, but quickly forgotten ;)
I know I'm not likely to get it as we don't often get continuous days of 0° temps down this way. 5 are predicted later this week...but even if we got 7, going by the government's methodology I'm doubtful we'd qualify.
