Intrigued about all this I asked AI to come up with an answer........


what is the hottest time of the day in the uk?

ChatGPT
In the United Kingdom, the hottest time of the day typically occurs in the late afternoon or early evening, usually between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. This is because the sun's rays take time to heat up the Earth's surface, and the maximum temperature is often reached a few hours after solar noon, which is when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. However, it's important to note that weather patterns and regional variations can influence the exact timing of the hottest part of the day. Additionally, the UK's weather can be unpredictable, so temperatures can vary significantly from day to day. It's always a good idea to check the local weather forecast for the most accurate information on temperature and timing.

Can you ask AI for a solution then, besides delivering through the night? Also ask it how postal carriers in hot countries manage it.

As for other postal carriers in warmer countries like Spain I guess they have siesta's don't they? They won't be chasing their own tails trying to get over-extended deliveries covered in the mid-day heat.

Well according to AI the mid day heat is actually in the late afternoon anyway so we will be fine.

I think that the confusion is that while it is often hotter in afternoon/early evening, the midday sun is more dangerous to the skin with the sun being at its closest to our position on the earth.

I've got to give it to you - even when completely owned in a discussion you continue to struggle - just won't tap out and submit. Come back asking for more - tireless and tiresome.

I’ve not been ‘owned’ by anyone. I have offered up evidence proving what I say, but apparently the Met aren’t a good enough source for some on here. What would they know about the weather I guess… As someone else kindly pointed out, it feels hotter later in the day, but the sun is most dangerous at midday, the same as it ever was.

Also feel free to make use of the ignore function if I am so tiresome. It seems to have worked for the other serial moaners on here, and would be better for both of us I think. Will save me having to respond to your vacuous posts that offer nothing to the discussion.

Here’s a few more sources considering I’ve already wasted my time replying.

I think now is a good time to get an independent health and safety review on our working conditions

None of our vans have air con! Not even the new ones

At the moment some rounds in our office are doing the steeper more physical loops first in the morning before it gets too hot

But that won’t be possible if we’re starting later!!

For a company that’s supposedly big on health and safety I just can’t believe they’re even contemplating making us work at the hotter end of the day

Come on union get your thumb outta your arse come send a health and safety rep round West Yorkshire see if they survive the hills in this heat

Our new vans have air con but you have to use it sparingly otherwise it drain s the battery and we've been told to start 30 minutes early because of the heat so if the new later start times come In will they ask us to start 1hr 30 minutes early when it's hot?

Talking about the vans surely it must come to a point where the manufacturers don't even offer them without it, mind you the length of time RM hang on to vans these days it could be a while.

I don’t know if they have paused the rollout, but my new electric van has air-con. It was very welcome indeed today.

That's a good one !! The only time Royal Mail give a monkeys is in hindsight when they're looking for someone to blame
