No max, but your employer has to do everything possible to make you comfortable eg..fans, cool water available, regular breaks, ventilation, all those things and more.
Have a look on the unison website - that gives all the details about employers' responsibilities during hot weather.

No, there's not. 16 degrees C is the lower limit, but there's no legally defined upper limit.

it depends on demographics. african aboriginals are used to working at high temperatures where scandinavians can start complaining when mercury rises well above 25 deg. celcius. but for normal offices, the temperature stands between 24 deg. cencius to 27 deg. celcius (called room temperature at Standard Pressure)

No maximum temperature under the Act that covers Offices and Factories, only a minimum temperature.....not sure about any other statute......

South Africa has a maximum of 37
No minimum tho'
I think that here it is not statutory but is advised at about 35

No, there is no legal limit in the UK.
There are various European and World guidelines (about 24º is it?), but they are generally unrealistic without air conditioning.
