Question What thinkness of pads

Just wondering what thinkness you let your pads get to be for replacing them. Over the last 2 days in this hot weather I have noticed my brakes being softer than usual. When I checked them after I got home tonight I have about 5 mm of pad left (all round) before I get the the metal bracket.

They are going to get replaced soon but should I do it now.

Not 100% sure, but I just changed all my pads, and the instruction insert in the new box recommended a bare minimum of 2mm.
