Hoping it moves further east quickly
I'm wfh today - indoors at the front of the house (north facing) with a fan on high - all windows and doors open with the south side curtains closed - it's not bad, but I've already drunk 6 pints of water, so I keep needing to pee like a horse.

Would this allow for the relative North/South divide temp wise? I mean it's 9°C and drizzle in Middlesbrough.

In a factory in Burgess Hill.
Asbestos roof lining, corrugated roof with roof lights all the way down the length.
I'm currently cutting 6mm thick steel with a laser.
The machines are boiling, the actual metal is boiling. The chillers on the machine are belting out hot air.
I have officially melted.
Unsure whether to stop at the pub on the way home to drink a barrel of cider or just stop at the shop, buy some cans and jump in Ms Spongys paddling pool.
Just finished my 6th litre of water and only had one dribble of a piss.

When it's -4 with a wind chill factor of -10 and freezing rain, that's when enough is enough, and only then.

I had a meeting in central London today with about 12 attendees.
I was the only one in the room as everyone else decided to stay at home and a conference call was hastily arranged.
The presentations were hopeless without a screen, but otherwise worked so well the future meetings will probably be done with everyone remote.
It was lucky nobody else turned up as I generated enough heat in the non air conditioned room to make it distinctly uncomfortable.
Having said that, the bus is considerably hotter and I can’t wait to get to the train station. Just hope there’s still some trains running.....

Pray for those of us who work in kitchens. Luckily I'm not working today but yesterday temperatures peaked at a cool 115 Fahrenheit.

No, because how would you deal with the glassmaking or steelmaking industries for two examples?
Boringly it needs to be measured/assessed by a competent person and suitable controls implemented such as PPE and appropriate Work/Rest regimes.
Yes, this is my line of work (amongst others)

As per my previous email clearly not a task that has been properly assessed.

As mentioned in the 'hottest temps' thread, some Middle East countries have or have had a 50°C policy, but the official temp never exceeds 49°C.
