THERMAL images show the stifling heat London commuters had to face as they battled their way around the capital on the hottest day of the year.
A collection of thermal of images illustrates how temperatures hit 38.2C on a bus from Willesden to Wandsworth on Thursday afternoon.
Meanwhile, those on a Northern Line carriage had to endure highs of 36C as the mercury soared to 38C at 4pm.
Furious commuters have now called for air conditioning to be installed on the Tube with some claiming they were “hot as hell”.
The images were captured using the thermal camera on a Cat S61 smartphone.
“TREATED LIKE ANIMALS”
Suran Ding, 31, from Canary Wharf, East London, medicates to stay cool on the London Underground.
She told MailOnline: “We are being treated like animals because in China every tube has a cooling system you could have with other cities.
“’The Central Line is one of the worst I have to use. It’s really unbearable. I have to meditate on the actual train.

“It definitely helps, just telling yourself, ‘don’t think about anything else, just close your eyes’.
“If I didn’t meditate i would definitely get anxious and feel more hot and it just gets worse.”
It comes as thousands of commuters were stranded when the heat brought the capital to a standstill with rail services going into meltdown.
RAIL CHAOS
Some passengers had to be rescued by rail workers at Euston after the line was down.
Network Rail announced that speed restrictions were put in place amid fears that tracks could buckle in the heat if trains travel too fast.
Speed limits on most commuter lines were cut from 60mph to 30mph on what became the hottest July day on record.
Former Manchester United and Aston Villa footballer Dion Dublin shared a picture of the chaos at Euston after the station put out a “major disruption” alert.
