Gas hob issue

[Truman]

Wasn't sure where to post this but hoping a gas safe man reads it...

I've got a gas hob and when the weather is hot the gas supply to it exhibits some strange characteristics. In hot weather, when you turn the gas knob for any of the rings to ON, and light it, the gas surges through quite forcefully, you can hear it more than normal, then within a couple of seconds the supply almost dries up and the flame almost goes out, then a few seconds later the supply stabilises and the gas comes through normally.

This only really happens in hotter than average weather, like today for example. Any ideas to what could be the cause?

i would get a gas safe engineer to check the hob and your gas supply

and lpg or ng just out of interest?

Natural gas.

The supply at the meter was checked last year when I had a new boiler fitted however the gas hob problem was present prior to that. It's only recently now I'm using the hob more that I'm wanting to get to the bottom of the problem.
