By scraps

Hi

Would you say that the underlined works in the sense of very little. Or could you please offer me a better phrase...

A - Has the heat relented there?
B - Only by scraps.

In fact, the underlined is a direct translation from my language. 

Thanks,

Tom

These rarely work. You're lucky if you can find a handful unless your language is historically fairly closely related to English.
