  • 00:00Farmers in the UK are getting super hot. We are on track right now, according to the UK Met officer. Probably the hottest summer on record, but we're tracking as hot as it's ever been. And this is a this is something cities around the world are having to deal with. Hotter summers, longer duration, heat waves, more extreme temperatures, the highs getting higher, the length of these hot spells lasting longer. But cities that have transferred have have dealt with this in very different ways. And the experience of those communities is quite a bit different in different places. Yeah. I mean, one of the issues with the London Underground is some of the older infrastructure is quite literally creaking infrastructure. So what options do cities like London have in trying to adapt if they can't install air conditioning? Yeah, and that's a really, really great point. If you look at the subway commute and Tokyo and Beijing, you know, they've got, you know, air conditioned subway carriages, they've got air conditioned platforms are able to blow in this sort of refrigerated air. It's not quite air conditioning, but it manages to bring down the temperature a little bit. And, you know, in Beijing, they have subway carriages that are even colder for for for business people that have to wear jackets and suits or tights and, you know, more formal business attire every day. But a lot of those systems, as you as you as you hinted at, were built, you know, in the last several decades, not a century ago, like London's Underground or, you know, a century ago, like parts of the Paris metro. And we see these these subway systems in these cities with the really old and in many cases, deep, narrow tunnels that were built a century ago, really Victorian era architecture in these places really struggling to add. Yeah, air conditioning and to keep those systems cool. And that's increasing as it gets hot and gets hotter outside. But, you know, also these subway systems themselves add heat to the tunnel. A surprising amount of that. He comes from just, you know, putting the brakes on these subway cars themselves.

Looking for a Cooler Commute to Work? Try Beijing Over London

  • The Pulse with Francine Lacqua

August 27th, 2025, 10:28 AM GMT+0000

London's underground trains have been extremely hot over the last few months, with temperatures inside uncooled tube carriages climbing above the surface temperature. While climate change is raising temperatures everywhere, cities like Beijing or New York offer more air conditioned transportation systems capable of keeping their commuters cool. Passengers on London’s busy Central line, for one, have endured heat wave conditions underground every day this summer, according to data recorded by Bloomberg. Joe Wertz reports on what the UK Met Office calls “almost certainly” the warmest summer on record for the country. (Source: Bloomberg)
