(2) The BBC news story says the maximum temperature recorded on the
hottest day last summer (which is what the map is based on) was 32C,
not 35C - see:

Additionally I heard a few comments from David Waboso, engineering
director of LU, on a BBC London radio news bulletin earlier today, in
which he also said that the hottest temperature recorded last summer
was 32C (i.e. this confirms the BBC News online story).
It does rather look as though the Daily Mail were so desperate to hang
the 'unfit for cattle' line on this story that they made this
'mistake' on purpose.
(Note that I'm not saying the temperature in parts of the Tube has
never reached 35C or more - but this story is about the map that TfL
released today.)
Yes, you're right, the map scale only goes up to 32C, yet the Wail says,
"The new map recorded temperatures above 35C at some stations".
