| Mar 26, 2016 at 4:45 | comment | added | Chainsaw | So what is the legal minimum and maximum temperatures allowed in an aircraft, say in US and UK? | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 18:54 | comment | added | alephzero | The UK legal minimum limit for office temperatures is 16C (61F) and the recommended temp is 20C. There is no legal maximum (the recommended maximum is 30C), but if the temp in my office was stuck on 25C I would be complaining that it was too hot. 20C or 21C is about right by UK standards. | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 18:21 | comment | added | reirab | @FreeMan I think I'd still prefer 25.5C over 20C (68F,) though, particularly while sitting down inside. I seem to recall reading from Korean Air that they keep their cabins somewhere in the upper 70s during flight, but they operate mostly long-haul flights where people want to sleep anyway, so sleeping conditions aren't a bad thing there. | |

| Mar 25, 2016 at 14:44 | comment | added | FreeMan | 25.5C (78F)? That's napping weather right there! You heat the interior of a plane to 25C, then fill it with passengers, it's going from springtime warm to summer time hot in 30-45 minutes! | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 14:01 | comment | added | kevin | 20C? No wonder it's so cold! (for reference, the temperature recommended by the government here is 25.5C) | |
