How hot is your workplace this week and how are you coping?

Just wondering really. Mine is 28-29 degrees and I'm coming home feeling ill with it. Teacher - used to shitty working conditions, feel really sorry for the kids who are meant to be learning in it.

What's it like where you work?

hospital ward in an old building in desperate need of renovation. It’s boiling. Our office has no window and the ward has no air con. There are portable air con units in the bays to try and stop patients melting, but they’re not much good.

I love this weather when I’m at home, but hate working on it.

We are told often “there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing."

Generally, i agree but, unfortunately, there's not much more you can do when you're already only wearing a sleeveless, knee length cotton summer dress and your underwear!

When people talk about “bad weather” in that context, they usually mean rain or cold, where you can put on waterproofs or extra layers.
