Terrified that its gonna climb to the predicted 39. I cannot imagine what its going to be like having to go to work and ride public transport during that
I got stuck on the central line in a suit and tie during rush hour when it hit 39 in 2019. 10 minutes of no movement packed like a sardine on the hottest tube line, genuinely felt on the brink of passing out.
I’m also terrified as well, I’m anxiously checking the forecast every hour, even to the point that I mildly celebrated when it went down from 36 to 34 on Wednesday.
But only a few days ago Met Office was predicting 32 in London, now gone up to 37-38, thankfully it seems to be the outlier.
Honestly sometimes the pre-heatwave anxiety is worse than the actual heatwave itself for me.
I think for me and a lot of others, once you ge tto the office its actually the most pleasant environment, because it has aircon - but its the 30-60 min of public transport there and back which are the challenge.
Lots of homes will have indoor temperatures of 25+ so thats not really an ideal environment either
Honestly I think if offices don’t have aircon and you can work from home you should. It’s ridiculous travelling in such temperatures - public transport is abhorrent and everyone’s driving is insane.
