Extreme heat is a killer, even in the UK. While the hot weather baking Britain this week is enjoyed by many, it is also likely to silently kill hundreds, experts warn.
Highs of 33 degrees Celsius are expected in some areas on Monday afternoon, which would make it the hottest day of the year so far. And it’s only expected to get hotter; the Met Office on Monday issued a rare extreme heat warning for much of England and Wales, starting on Sunday 17 July and lasting into early next week.
