Weather forecast says London is going to be 38 degrees tomorrow, with a humidity of over 60%. Railway companies are telling me not to travel tomorrow because the heat is likely to disrupt train services. Tube lines without air conditioning are going to be dangerously hot. I don’t know how this city is going to function tomorrow. Maybe it’s something we need to adapt to.

This happened a couple years ago on ICE (Inter City Express) trains in Germany: https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/the-world-from-...

> As temperatures soared to 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), the cooling system on many ICE high-speed trains simply switched off, leaving passengers to swelter amid inside temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

> "A company that has aspirations to be a high-tech firm, but one which soft boils its customers instead of bringing them comfortably to their destination, has more than a small technical problem."

Wow, don't suppose they could open a window !

[srrr]

The ICE does not have windows that can be opened because it is a high speed train traveling at 200-300km/h.

I'd rather boil than open a window at 280km/h
