In the UK there is no legal upper limit for office temperature, the legislation simply says that the temperature must be reasonable.
But what on earth is reasonable?
Currently the temperature at my desk is 33 (almost 34) degrees centigrade.
We have some portable air conditioning units, but quite frankly they aren't worth the space. I've just been to get more cold water from the cooler, and waling back into the office one encounters the same wall of heat you get leaving a plane on your summer holidays to somewhere warm.
Any suggestions are hugely welcome! So far we are all drinking bucket-loads of water, and from tomorrow we are going to hae a rota for showering during the day-time.
I casn't concentrate, and its just making me into a grumpy melting analyst...
(It's made slightly worse for me, in that as a contractor, if I don't work I'm not paid, whereas some of the permies have gone home early.)
