A 27-year-old banker in Canary Wharf reported sleeping well and higher office attendance because his flat, Elizabeth line commute, and office all have air conditioning. A 26-year-old in Whitechapel, a deprived area, said her nearby flat was too hot, forcing her to sit outside with a baby who was struggling and preventing sleep at night. England recorded the hottest May days in history, with London reaching 35C and consecutive tropical nights where temperatures stayed above 20C. Health risks rise when indoor temperatures exceed 25C, and overheating in homes is linked to death risk, especially for older people. A Resolution Foundation analysis found 48% of the poorest fifth of English households have homes liable to get too hot, versus 17% among the richest fifth.
