A severe heatwave is hitting the UK, with temperatures in southern England expected to reach record levels for June. Heat alerts are in effect, particularly warning of health risks for those over 65. As temperatures rise above 30C and could peak at 35C, Wimbledon is set for its hottest opening day ever. The heat is attributed to changes in wind direction, drawing in hot air from warmer regions in Europe. The UK Health Security Agency has advised on health precautions as wildfires become a concern due to the extreme heat.
As temperatures rise to unprecedented levels, health warnings are issued for vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, and a risk of wildfires is highlighted.
Forecasts predict that the scorching heatwave could lead to the hottest start to Wimbledon in history, with multiple records potentially being broken this week.
