Temperatures in the kitchen at Bistro 8 in Caerphilly hit 51C on the hottest day of the year on Monday. It will re-open on Wednesday with space made in the walk-in fridge for staff to nip in and cool down.
There’s a minimum temperature for indoor work in Britain, but no maximum. The minimum for sedentary work used to be 17°C, but they reduced it to 16°C during the last government. Notably, it hasn’t been increased again under the current one. (For active indoor work, it’s 13°C. Outdoor work has no limits otherwise the country would be even less functional in extreme weather than it already is.)
