While the UK only has minimum temp guidelines, unions and the Green MP are demanding a 30°C cap (27°C for physically demanding roles) and pushing for new legislation. Teachers are using wet towels to cool classrooms, and hospitals report critical equipment failures — underscoring the health and safety crisis. Though Khan can’t enforce limits, he’s launching a citywide adaptation plan, while the government says it has no immediate plans but will consult on workplace temperatures later this year.
