Ohh poor baby, a whole 35 degrees? Through summer in Australia I have to endure 44!! Yes, in a tin building in 44 degree heat! And there is nothing I can say about it.
Suck it up.

You need a polar holiday
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that indoor working conditions should be reasonable
And the H&SE define "a reasonable working temperature in workrooms usually at least 16°C, or 13°C for strenuous work (unless other laws require lower temperatures); "
So to get down to 16C, H&SE suggests "local heating or cooling where a comfortable temperature cannot be maintained throughout each work room (eg hot and cold processes)"
Over to you

Not sure, but I am a teacher in Canada and in June, I've worked in my class with 25 kids at 35 degrees. It's hell.

Quit whining about the heat. It was 107°F (42°C) in Texas yesterday. Its been like this for week and it will be like this tomorrow. We have 30 days straight of 100°F (38°C) weather all the time.

Apparently if over 15% of the workforce complain about the heat they must ease working conditions such as letting you wear cooler clothing etc!

You don't need regulations to object. Just tell the person in charge that it's sapping your energy and ask for it to be turned down. You don't have to turn it into a big deal or be nasty!!

There is no law and there should be a law. Perhaps we'll have to wait for the first heat-related death before something gets done.

Nope... all they have to do is supply something too drink!
No such thing in the laws as too hot, but there is one for too cold!!
