London is enduring its second summer heatwave, with temperatures soaring to 30C, leading to a yellow health alert by the Met Office. The health warning highlights risks for vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. TfL advises passengers of potential delays due to high track temperatures, notably on the Central and Victoria lines. While parks and open spaces are crowded with sun-seekers, cooler air is expected to arrive midweek, bringing some much-needed relief from the oppressive heat.
The Met Office has issued a yellow health alert across much of England, warning that the high temperatures pose risks to vulnerable people, from the elderly to those with health conditions.
Much of the country will see temperatures in the early to mid-30s (C) at the height of the heatwave, reminding people to check on those who are more vulnerable.
Hospitals and care homes have also been reminded to keep an eye on indoor temperatures and ensure vulnerable patients are protected from heat stress.
TfL has warned of possible delays on some Tube and rail services, where high track temperatures can cause disruption, particularly on the Central and Victoria lines.
