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.
