At 9m (30ft) there was no evident annual cycle and all months fell

This may well be a stupid question, but in view of the figures above, why
does the London underground get unbearably hot during hot weather?
Shouldn't it stay roughly the same all year round?


100W+ per person, a couple of MW per train. It all ends up as heat.


Note that the trains don't have regenerative braking either!
