40°C on 21:13 - Jul 15 with 2535 views | Chondzoresk | Yes. It is. Possibly 41-42 in the Peterborough area Tuesday. I’m concerned as my wife is a chef. The temps in the kitchens are phenomenal. But when the temp is 30 degrees Celsius at mid night is a huge worry. They are predicting this by the way and I’ll be sitting in my EV with air con on full tilt….in the nip. |  | |  |

Dry heat luckily rather than humid which will make it less uncomfortable. |  |

I was wondering about commercial kitchens and at what temp they consider closing. There must be a limit by law. [Post edited 15 Jul 2022 21:29]

Probably out of date info as the law must have changed by now but the Shops and Factories act had a minimum temperature written in but no maximum. |  |

I might wear shorts... on 21:31 - Jul 15 with 2402 views | Bloots | ....and perhaps an open necked shirt of some type. Short sleeved probably. |  |

Apparently no legal limit to heat. Just for cold |  | |  |

We've never recorded 39°C in this country before. 41°C+ is madness. |  |

Something to do with blast furnaces and the like IIRC |  |

Yes of course, along with schools and all workplaces really. But you'd think they'd be a high limit too. We're not generally kitted out for it although I accept there must be many more buildings are than ever with air-con. One day it will need to become the norm here I guess when it was once unthinkable. |  |

'We're not generally kitted out for it although I accept there must be many more buildings are than ever with air-con. One day it will need to become the norm here I guess when it was once unthinkable.' Which is just adding to the problem, of course. |  |

He’s coming across as very dim witted on here recently. Thought he had grown up and got over the silliness of his younger years. He obviously reads the Sun and wears Slazenger and Donnay gear from Sports Direct. |  | |  |

Tis a fair point. There has to come with that more responsibility to create more renewables too. I suppose it will become a bit cooler once the sea has filled up the back garden. |  |

He just wants to be edgy. Sadly, he's coming across like a Wallingford tribute act. |  |

It’s just typical of TWTD to be crying about something that hasn’t happened yet and only has a 50/50 chance of happening. |  |

These are temperatures not recorded in the UK for 112 years. They are now more likely to happen than not. Why do you think that is? I’m sure your party of choice is explaining what they would do about it. Young people eh |  | |  |

Do you not think the bigger picture is more worrying? You have a young child, what do you think his future could look like with temperatures getting hotter and hotter, fires, droughts, crops not growing. It’s very easy to have your head in the sand and say it’s just another very hot day but there’s very much something more at play. I get that we can have freak bits of weather but they aren’t becoming freaks anymore, they will become the norm and we will suffer across the world. |  | |  |
40°C on 22:42 - Jul 15 with 2002 views | J2BLUE | Thankfully I’ll be working from home in vest and boxers with plenty of cold drinks, a powerful fan and cold water to put my feet in. I hope anyone who needs to work in an office or outside manages to keep cool. Hopefully people will stay out of restaurants/shops and give the staff a break. |  |

You think the warnings are coming from TWTD? Seriously? As for climate change, do you honestly believe that's not happening yet? Have you seen what's been happening in Australia; the recent flooding, the bush fires there and in the US? Have you noticed the flooding in Bangladesh? You realise that real people are losing their lives and their homes right? Edit: "Crying". That's annoyed me. I never knew you were that fecking stupid or childish to be honest.

Add in Portugal, China and Canada, all right now, all at the same time. It's not so much the individual events, SitfcB, bad though they are, it's the terrifying pattern of so many of them happening altogether on such a frequent basis, that has got a lot of very much smarter people than you and I very worried indeed. |  |
