My lab is fully air conditioned so I'm loving work at the minute. Far too hot outside

Love the over dramatisation!

It's too hot - can't cope.

Factory I work in hit 41 degrees when we came in at 2pm, only dropped to 38 degrees by the time we left at 10pm. It was like working in a giant greenhouse. The shift made a complaint with everyone's signatures, but we don't expect anything to be done about it. It was ridiculous and unbearable.

I'm surprised a walk-out wasn't considered. Or was it?

Doesn't seem to bad today. Yesterday was 29/30 but today it's only forecast for 24.

Back to 30 tomorrow however..

A lot of blokes considered it yeah. Decided not to rock the boat in the end, since quite a few of them live hand-to-mouth.
It's bit a galling though, knowing your bosses can get away with making people work in such conditions.

I think tomorrow a couple may phone in sick - some of them alluded to such - it wouldn't surprise me.

Spent the best part of 2 hours on an overcrowded, broken down train yesterday evening with no air con.. Was hell.

In an attempt to protect the infrastructure, Greater Anglia services reduced the line speed yesterday , which a fully understand but to then to purposely cancel trains on top is an outrage and compounded the problem leaving no room for error.. which there was. :mad:

I bet there were a few hayfever sufferers going through hell on there.

Well our house is a 70s build, and according to the heating thermostat, inside is currently 26.5 degrees. Outside is much, much hotter tho. Feels at least 30 out there.

Our house doesn't even meet building regs. Single block wall with timber frame behind :eek:

Stay in the shade.

Anyone listening to the weather forecasts expecting relief to arrive this weekend will be sorely disappointed imo. Standard practice for weather forecasters during a heatwave is to keep saying the end will be arriving in a few days time, more often than not it doesn't though.

Ahhh la B

Fingers crossed it stays like this for the weekend.

I have a new 16" fan! I'm saved!

Just hit 30.5c according to the nearest amateur weather station near me in West Cornwall, hottest day for 20 years + I'd guess. Lovely stuff, wish it was like this all summer long.

It's too hot :(

I haz 4090!
