UK Amber Alert Heatwave BBC Doctor's '3pm Rule' in 36C Temperatures
Dr Oscar Duke said to avoid strenuous activity between 11am and 3pm as heat-health alerts cover much of England.
- The UK is experiencing its third heatwave of the year, with temperatures forecast to reach up to 36C across parts of England this week. The Met Office and UK Health Security Agency have issued amber and yellow heat health alerts through Sunday.
- Dr. Oscar Duke appeared on BBC Morning Live to advise avoiding strenuous activity between 11am and 3pm, warning that heatwaves cause cardiac strain and high humidity reduces the body's natural cooling effectiveness.
- Sweltering conditions caused rail buckling between Haywards Heath and Gatwick Airport, disrupting services and forcing speed restrictions. Bristol Crown Court deemed sections "unusable" due to extreme heat, moving proceedings via video link.
- National Fire Chiefs Council deputy lead Dave Swallow warned that dry weather significantly increases wildfire risk, urging the public to avoid disposable barbecues in open countryside, parks, and moorlands.
- Forecasters expect the heatwave to last until the beginning of next week, though the Met Office cautions that UV levels will remain high and weather will stay increasingly humid across much of the UK.
