The UK Health Security Agency and Met Office have issued a heat alert from July 9 to July 15, affecting areas including London and the South East. London is under an amber alert, indicating a higher health risk. Expected temperatures will reach 28C on Wednesday, climbing to 32C by Friday, with little overnight relief. The alert predicts significant pressure on health services, including GP surgeries and hospitals, and poses a greater risk to vulnerable individuals with health issues due to the excessive heat.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Met Office have jointly issued a heat alert effective from 10am on July 9 until 10am on July 15, covering several regions of the UK.
While most regions are under a yellow alert, London is under an amber alert, indicating a more severe impact on health and services due to high temperatures.
Temperatures are expected to reach 28C on Wednesday, climbing to 30C on Thursday and potentially hitting 32C by Friday, with high temperatures persisting into the weekend.
Significant strain is anticipated on health and social care services, with increased risks for vulnerable individuals, particularly those aged 65 and over or with underlying health conditions.
