London is preparing for a major heatwave this weekend, with temperatures predicted to soar to 31C, making it hotter than popular tourist destinations like Ibiza. Following a lengthy sunny spring, the city will experience uninterrupted sunny weather, prompting a yellow heat warning from the UK Health Security Agency. This warning highlights risks for vulnerable communities and encourages precautionary measures. The Met Office has also alerted the public about increased fire hazards under such dry conditions, emphasizing the need to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours.
A yellow heat warning has been put in place by the UK Health Security Agency for Saturday due to forecasted high temperatures, particularly affecting vulnerable populations.
Charlie Pugsley, the deputy commissioner for operational policy, emphasized that extended hot and dry conditions significantly increase the risk of grass fires due to tinder-dry grass.
