Residents in a South London tower block say they are struggling with extreme indoor temperatures after hot weather pushes conditions outside to around 35C. Multiple reports describe residents experiencing heat-related symptoms, including vomiting. Some residents are temporarily rehoused as a result of the impact of the heat, while others remain in their flats despite the conditions. The situation highlights concerns about how well buildings manage high temperatures during heatwaves, particularly in high-rise properties where flats can become very hot without adequate ventilation or cooling. The reports indicate that the effects are immediate and vary between residents, with some seeking assistance from services or housing support due to illness or the inability to cope indoors. While the accounts focus on the residents’ experiences, they also point to wider issues about health risks during prolonged periods of high temperatures and the availability of support for affected households.
