It got to 43 in our old office/factory building a few summers ago when the aircon packed up for a couple of weeks.
Wasn't pleasant trying to fix machines with that sort of temp, we just took lots of water breaks. It's not too bad though as long as you remember to stay properly hydrated.

Some of our workers work in extreme temperatures and humidity for upto 12 hours.
Most workers take 8 litres of water with salt tablets to last through the shift.
You have to build yourself up to working in such conditions, we have had visitors collapse after a few hours and they have only been observing.

There is no upper limit for an office environment but there is for a manual working environment. (I think)
However I seem to remeber there is something about a minimum humidity ?
34degs in our office, that's why I go and hide in the computer labs

You lot want to try working in really hot conditions whilst wearing full fire suits. Then you'll know what it's like to be really HOT.
Bet you moan in the winter too when theres a draught if someone leaves a door open. You poor lot!
