As temperatures soar this week, you might be wondering if it ever gets ‘too hot’ to work 🌞 💼

As temperatures soar on what feels like the first properly scorching day of summer in the UK, many workers will find themselves sweltering in offices and other workplaces. Add to that the four-day heat health alert that is now in force in many parts of the country, and the question of when it’s too hot to work becomes increasingly prevalent, because nobody wants to melt at their desk - no matter how dedicated they are to their job.

The Government’s web page on the matter says that during working hours, indoor workplaces must maintain a “reasonable” temperature, but there are no legal requirements that specify minimum or maximum working temperatures. While guidelines recommend a minimum of 16ºC as a comfortable working temperature, there is no specific guidance regarding a maximum temperature limit.
