Comment on UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C

Probably half the offices I’ve worked at had no AC at all. One job I had moved to a new building that didn’t have AC, they spent a fortune installing it, then were required to remove it when they vacated the building a few years later.

Really? I’ve never worked on an office without AC. Maybe I’ve just worked in posh offices

  There are many old buildings, and historically it hasn’t often been warm enough to make air conditioning worth it. But the climate is getting warmer now.

  If you’re also an American, Europe has more-moderate extreme temperatures than parts of the US do; most of it is near water, which helps moderate temperature, and it has few arid places. The UK, which is an archipeligo, particularly so.

  Basically 30 years ago it was very seldom needed. It's almost as if ... oh, I don't know, the climate is changing.
