Heat health alerts in England as temperatures set to reach 34C
Temperatures are expected to reach 34C in some areas of England.
England is currently under amber and yellow heat health alerts as temperatures are set to reach 34C in some areas, with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issuing the alerts for Monday until Wednesday 5 August. The warnings cover major regions including London, the South East, the East of England, and the East Midlands, and warn of significant impacts on health and social care services, particularly for vulnerable individuals.
The alerts replace those issued during a previous heatwave and anticipate a surge of hot air moving north from France, with the hottest weather expected to occur on Monday.
