Feeling the heat in London

London is always one of the hottest places in the country on a hot summer day due to the heat generated by the buildings, activities and people found in the city. It is going to get ever hotter in the future.

Check out the Guardian piece mentioned here.

We need to start changing infrastructure, plant trees and employ a heat officer (as with other cities). The Tube and schools will become too hot, the report suggests.
