UK weather: Health alerts issued as temperatures could hit 30C
Temperatures could reach 30C in parts of south-eastern England, and the alert warns of indoor overheating, higher healthcare demand and water-related incidents.
- The UK Health Security Agency issued a yellow heat health alert for the East Midlands, East of England, London, and the South East, coming into force at 3pm on Wednesday until 8pm next Monday.
- Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick attributed the daily temperature increase to a plume of high pressure building in the South East, bringing warmer air across the region.
- Temperatures are likely to range from 26 to 28C, with the potential to approach 30C in parts of England, though peak heat remains dependent on cloud cover.
- The UKHSA warned the alert signals a "greater risk to life of vulnerable people" and "increased use of healthcare services," alongside risks from coldwater shock and drowning.
- Scotland and Northern Ireland will endure cloudier skies and rainfall throughout the week, with temperatures there unlikely to climb beyond 20C, contrasting sharply with the South East's heat.
