GDC’s nursery is closed on Monday due- reason being the heat. They will be open on Tuesday til 12 (instead of 3).
This was emailed to parents on Friday.
My AIBU is - the nursery is in a hall (trees all around and in a park so outside space and shady outside areas if needed. So why does it need to close!

Yes we do. Max 26° degrees indoors when it’s hot. More than that we can’t.

When I taught in Germany years ago, the particular Bundesland I worked in had a rule of Hitzefrei if temperatures reached 25 degrees in the shade by 10am. Other places have rules like 27 degrees indoors, schools are closed.

Yet countries like Spain manage it when the temperatures are reaching near 40!

We’re never set up here for anything - heat, cold, snow, we’re so used to our usual that we don’t know how to cope. But Germany, for example, doesn’t grind to a halt in the snow, they fit chains and winter tyres and get on with things! We’re such a funny country in some ways.

Temperatures like this will become more commonplace. Businesses should be adapting now by installing air con or moving to premises which will be cooler.

thaniks god someone speaks sense about air con

everyone who comes from other countries say ours is unverable in the summer-guess why- we dont have aircon-and if we do its like it spitting it out rather than a blast

perhaps when the tourist pound is affected a bit more the air con will go in
