Making Moves has analyzed temperature data for London's underground services and predicts the Victoria Line will be the hottest with temperatures potentially hitting 32C this summer. From 2021-2024, the line recorded an average temperature of 28.1C. The Central Line follows closely at 31.4C, attributed to its age and limited ventilation. Other lines like the Bakerloo and Northern also show elevated temperatures. Moreover, complaint data reveals numerous heat-related grievances, with the Victoria Line receiving the most complaints, reflecting passengers' discomfort during summer heat.
This summer, the Victoria Line is predicted to reach a maximum temperature of 32C, solidifying its status as London’s hottest underground service for summer 2024.
Limited ventilation on the Central Line, one of London’s oldest and deepest lines, contributes to its second highest predicted maximum temperature of 31.4C this summer.
