91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states “all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity.”

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of “Hot”… The gods are having a laugh lol

    It’s like that here in Germany too. They have a legal lower temperature limit, but otherwise it’s just “if it’s hot you have to give your employees water.”

    It will be 40C next week. No AC in my office.

      I definitely feel for you guys in Europe, a lot of tough arguments to be had with employers coming up… If I understand correctly AC isn’t that common because it historically hasn’t been as necessary as it has been in the US. The future unfortunately is looking to make it necessary pretty much everywhere :(

        I live in the hottest part of Germany. In the north, AC honestly isn’t that necessary and we managed really well by just keeping the blinds closed, but down here it’s impossible.
