FOLLOWING the record breaking blistering heat of the past few days, Wokingham Borough Council offers advice on how to keep buildings comfortable during warmer summers.
If last week felt unusually hot, says the council, the local weather data tells the same story.
Temperatures measured at the Reading University Atmospheric Observatory broke several local records.
In the 24 hours to 10am on Friday, June26, the temperature did not fall below 21.3°C, making it the highest ever overnight minimum recorded there.
The observatory also recorded its highest ever June maximum temperature, reaching 34.9°C on Wednesday, June 24.
As temperatures cool, the council is asking people to think about how to keep homes, workplaces and communities safe and comfortable during warmer summers.
The council’s Climate Emergency Hub explains how it is working towards a carbon neutral borough, and offers advice for residents, businesses, organisations and schools on responding to climate change and adapting to more extreme weather.
