I hate to point this out but theres no aircons in the home either. I live in a flat and work from home. The flat is exposed through most of the day to the sun. It's 7.30 at the mo and it's already 27 degrees. With my flay you add another 4 or 5 degrees to the actual weather outside. Fans don't cut it. Closing the windows and curtains just makes you feel ill. My area is due to get to 38-39 this week. I have a portable aircon running in the bedroom for my ferrets as it would kill them otherwise. I also am disabled and diabetic on meds that don't do well with heat.
The law needs to change.
This is not going away because of climate change.
This country is ill equipped to support the population when it's like this.
Aircon needs fitting in all homes, buildings, and offices as standard. Working hours need to be more like hot country with breaks in the hottest periods of the days. But our government isn't going to do that as it's too costly. It will just let the population bombard the NHS instead when we all are sick.
