Maybe not officially. They'd hate to have to send the labour workers home for the day.
That's the point... The gumment owns the met office and they tell them never to publish a temperature above whatever (46 Celsius?) because of the OHS/Labour laws.

Funny, that, a met office that has a differently calibrated thermometer, and whose pronouncements are censored.

I wonder if private ownership of thermometers is illegal in the pit?
