‘Fine’ if they’re fine with me wearing a tanktop and track shorts. I can be motionless and sweat at 85+ F
Comment on UK workers ‘should get day off’ if workplace is hotter than 30C

86 F for Americans.
Seems warm for manual labor, seems fine for typing.

Indeed. A shirt and trousers is absolutely lovely attire for sitting in a room that’s 30°C. No thanks.

I’m guessing the humidity was way lower wherever you were comfortable at 30°C, it’s fine at the beach but in Britain it makes your brain start to melt!

Where do you live? I’ve never seen that enforced in the US.

I am afraid you have responded to the wrong comment. I said nothing about the US rules, I was changing temperature measurement standards.

Many of our buildings are built to deal with cold winters, rather than hot summers. 30 is fine in a properly designed office. Add in stale stuffy air, and rising humidity and it quickly becomes extremely unpleasant.
I’ve worked full tilt, outside in 42°C temperatures, without issues. 32 in UK buildings and weather can leave me effectively useless.
