Heat Health Alerts For Most of England As Temperatures Set To Rise Again
Amber and yellow alerts warn of extra pressure on the NHS as forecasters say temperatures could reach 35C in the South East.
- The UK Health Security Agency issued amber heat-health alerts for London and the South East, effective Monday through Wednesday morning, as forecasters predict temperatures could peak at 32C on Monday.
- Persistent dry weather follows a record-breaking July, which the Met Office described as an "exceptional combination of extreme heat, abundant sunshine and an almost complete absence of rainfall," with England recording only 5.6mm of rain.
- Polly Ashmore of the UKHSA warned hot weather poses serious risks for older adults, while Angelo Makri of the Alzheimer's Society urged families to ensure loved ones are "drinking enough, wearing light clothing and staying indoors."
- Additional yellow heat-health alerts cover the North West, Yorkshire, The Humber, West Midlands, and South West, as officials warn the intense heat could place "extra pressure on the NHS," increasing vulnerability.
- Temperatures will likely ease mid-week as a gradual cooling process begins, though highs of 26C or 27C remain expected Wednesday in the South East; low pressure moving from the west may bring showers to parts of the UK.
