Episode Details

Ireland’s sweltering under a heat dome with temps hitting mid-30s nationwide—officials warn of thunderstorms and water safety risks. While no law mandates closing workplaces, employers must ensure staff safety under employment law. Heatwaves are typically handled via contracts or policies, not sudden work-from-home requests. Indoor spaces must be ventilated and temperature-controlled; outdoor workers need protection, though no national heat limits exist yet. Spain’s paid extreme weather leave model could inspire EU-wide changes. Meanwhile, businesses in hotter regions start early to dodge peak heat—proving productivity plummets when it’s too hot to think straight.
