London Tube travelers endure heat wave as temperatures soar beyond legal limits for cattle
London Underground travelers face increasingly unbearable conditions due to heatwaves, with temperatures rising above 30°C, the legal limit for transporting cattle. Sensors record platform and train temperatures reaching as high as 34°C, making commutes uncomfortable and unsafe. Experts highlight that the underground tunnels act as radiators, absorbing heat from surrounding clay and concrete, and that the aging infrastructure is difficult to adapt to rising temperatures. Authorities are investing in measures like air-conditioned trains, but experts warn that more extensive adaptation is urgently needed.
