England Health Alert Raised To Amber Level As Heatwave Hits
The Guardian
|September 06, 2023
Health officials have upgraded their warning over rising temperatures this week with southern England due to experience heatwave conditions.
Temperatures are on the rise for much of the UK and are expected to peak today and tomorrow, with 32C forecast across parts of the south and south-east, the Met Office said.
There is also a chance the highest temperature of the year so far -32.2C on 10 June could be exceeded, most probably in south-east England, where the temperature in one or two places could get to 33C, the forecaster said.
The UK Health Security Agency, which provides alerts for the health and social care sector in England, has issued an amber heat health alert, which highlights increased risks for people more vulnerable to heat.
The public health body had initially issued a yellow heat health alert for all of England, apart from the north-east. However, this was increased from midday yesterday until 9pm on Sunday.
