I much prefer jumper weather .
Still things aren't as bad as they used to be, for those that commute from London Bridge may remember the days of the old slam door trains, where the first Littlehampton train after 5pm had spent all day in the sidings with the windows closed, and there was a mad rush to sit on the east side of the train (not the sun side) next to a window that opened. Even then it was like sitting in a sauna with your work clothes on for the whole journey home.
I firmly believe that when the mercury rises to above 20 it should be a compulsory wear flip flops and shorts to work day

40plus on the coast is lovely. 30 plus in inner city humid Madrid is not, instant sweat
Our office was so hot they had to keep the doors to the server room open for fear of the whole thing shorting out.
That said 'building management' only have themselves to blame; they (like Cricket Groundsman/umpires) fail to embrace the 21st century and have clearly no access to anyone of the myriad of weather apps to determine that it was going to be hotter than a scantily clad Scarlett Johansson this weekend and turned the aircon off.
Sometimes right, sometimes wrong but ALWAYS certain

Generally. it's fine as usually, I have nothing better to do than sit in the garden enjoying the odd beer.
Today, however, I had to go into central London. By Train. The juxtaposition of rail travel and hot weather is generally a recipe for disaster. And so it proved. As I KNEW it would.
Lulled into a false sense of security by my first train leaving on time, but by the time we crawled through Haywards Heath, something was amiss, Trackside fire closed fast line. Train crawled asthmatically to East Croydon. Cheerful guard says he hopes we'll make up a bit of time after East Croydon, but no. Deformed rail. One hour journey took over two. Same story on way back. Earlier fire meant delay and cancellations and crowded trains. At least the air con seemed to be working.
It's many, many years since I worked in the City. Those who have to commute daily have my respect and sympathy.

Honestly the trains have been dangerous the past few days, I got 3 separate trains back from London yesterday just to brake up the unbearable journey , work has been horrendous working in a roof space!

Just got home from work, balcolny door and windows open. Sitting in me undercrackers watching the football with the fan pointed at me nether regions, blowing a nice breeze around the Kyber pass.
