Scottish Heatwave and Air Con

Well it happens about once a decade. We have some hot humid weather right now in Scotland with temperatures up at 30Cin some places. From the moment the heatwave was predicted, I prepared to be called out to some smaller sites I know that have comms rooms without air conditioning, where I expected to find some equipment that had overheated and shut down.

What I didn’t expect was to be called out to a site where the comms room did have air con but the air con had been put up to 29C. After picking myself up off the floor after opening the door to the room, I turned the air con down to an acceptable level and rebooted the two switches that had clearly overheated due to the environmental conditions.

The moral of the story is to please check your air con on a regular basis and wear a jumper in the comms room if you get cold. Now where did I put those Bermuda Shorts?
