¸ÛÍѼÔs were yesterday ´«¤á¤ëd to µö¤¹ their staff to wear shorts at work to help them Âн褹¤ë with the heatwave in Britain.
The Ëǰסʤ¹¤ë¡Ës Union µÄ²ñ said the rise in µ¤²¹s had left many workplaces unbearably hot, with many people ¡Ævisibly wilting¡Ç.
Brito ns were sent scampering for shade as the µ¤²¹ µÞ¤Ë¾å¤¬¤ëd to the highest level of 2014 today - 29.1C (84.4F) in Hampton, south-west London.
The Met Office said the ¾ò·ïs passed 2014's previous high of 28.7C (83.7F), »Ï¤á¤ë¡¤·è¤á¤ë two weeks ago on July 4 in Writtle, Essex, and Weybourne, Norfolk.

Dr Paul Cosford, director for health Êݸî at PHE, said: ¡ÆWhile many enjoy hot Å·¸õ, ºÇ¹âµ¤²¹s can be dangerous, ÆÃ¤Ë for older people, young children and those with serious illnesses.
¡ÆEveryone can enjoy the sun °ÂÁ´¤Ë by keeping out of the heat at the hottest time of the day, Èò¤±¤ëing sunburn and staying hydrated with plenty of ÎäÀŤʡ¿ÀµÌ£¤Î drinks.¡Ç
He Äɲ乤ëd: ¡ÆTry to keep your bedroom and living space ÎäÀŤʡ¿ÀµÌ£¤Î, by ¤Î¶á¤¯¤Ëing the curtains on windows that receive the sun and ³«»Ï your windows at cooler times of the day and ÌëÄ̤· when you can. Turn off Èó¡¤ÉÔ¡¤Ìµ-ɬ¿Ü¤Î lights and Åŵ¤¤Î items as these À¸À®¤¹¤ë heat.¡Ç

The heatwave was also ¿äÄꤹ¤ë¡¿Í½ÁÛ¤¹¤ëd bring an ¿¯Î¬ of Èô¹Ôµ¡¤Ç¹Ô¤¯ing ants, said ¸¦µæ°÷s at the University of Gloucester and the Society of Biology.
A Êó¹ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿²±Â¬ has ÌÀ¤é¤«¤Ë¤¹¤ë¡¿Ï³¤é¤¹d that this time last year there were just 74 sightings in the UK, but this has Áý²Ã¤¹¤ëd to a whopping 1,799 this year.

As a result, the Met Office has also put in place ¸·¤·¤¤ Å·¸õ ·ÙÊós for rain covering most of England, ¤à¤Á¤ÎÀ×s and Scotland on Saturday.
The Met Office said: ¡Æ½ÅÍ×¤Ê flooding is possible where these do occur from surface water ƱÍÍ¤Ë as small, µÞ®¤Ê¡¿ÊüÆ¢¤Ê Åú¤¨¤ë¡¿±þ¤¸¤ëing watercourses.
¡ÆThe ¤¿¤Ó¤¿¤Ó¡Êˬ¤ì¤ë¡Ë Íë, ¤¢¤é¤ì¡¿¾Þ»¿¤¹¤ë and strong gusts could also be an Éղà hazard. The public should be aware of the ´í¸± of disruption from any of these elements.¡Ç
The Íò¤Î ¾ò·ïs will Æߤ餻¤ë the mood during what is likely to be the warmest ¡Ê°ìÄê¤Î¡Ë´ü´Ö of the year so far.

The group were not alone on the river, with University of ʪ±¢¡¿É÷²¼d ´¶ÈÀ¸¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ës Tom Baines and Tanny Evans, both 22, taking turns on the oars, while doing their best to Èò¤±¤ë the swans and geese.
Laura Haslam, 21, and 20-year-old friend Beth Gourlay, both from nearby Henley-in-Arden, enjoyed a rare day off work to sun themselves on the grassy riverbank ÉðÁõ¤·¤¿ with a box of fresh fruit to keep the heat at bay.
The µ¤²¹ was a little too much for Shar-Pei-beagle cross puppy ÊÆ¡¤°ð, who much preferred to be lying on his »Ù±ç¤¹¤ë in the shade, as owner Ellie Gill, 19, from Stratford, tried to walk him between the dozens of riverside deckchairs.
The strong sun also meant the riverbanks' boat-¸Û¤¦ ¾¦Çä¡¿»Å»ös were seeing ¤è¤ê¾®¿ô¤Î punters than they might have liked.
For the handful of ice cream ÀèƬs around the centre of Shakespeare's birthplace, it was the same story, with a »öÎã¡¿´µ¼Ô of too much of a good thing.
