The UK Health Security Agency has issued its first heat warning of the year due to a projected heat plume causing temperatures to reach around 30°C. This yellow warning is in effect from Thursday night until Sunday morning, covering several regions including the East of England and London. Particularly vulnerable groups such as those over 65 or with pre-existing health conditions are advised to take precautions against heat exhaustion and heatstroke, maintain cool home environments, and stay hydrated while enjoying the sunny weather.
The UK Health Security Agency issued a yellow warning affecting the East of England, East Midlands, London, and South East, urging precautions against health impacts from expected 30C temperatures.
Dr Agostinho Sousa emphasized that even moderate heat can seriously affect older adults, especially those with pre-existing conditions, highlighting the importance of sensible precautions.
