We attempt to measure the temperature of all the quiescent dwarf novae that have been observed with IUE, by fitting the observed flux distribution of white dwarfs (WDs) with known temperatures. This approach gives results similar to those using much more sophisticated modelling, but allows us to investigate the relationship with system parameters and subclasses.
