A level three heat health alert has been issued for parts of England this week as another heatwave is set to sweep the country. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued the alert for southern and central England from Tuesday (August 9) through to Saturday (August 13).
Temperatures of up to 35C are expected in some parts of the UK as high pressure builds this week. The latest heatwave might not bring the record-breaking temperatures recorded in July, but it is set to last longer, according to the Met Office.
The UKHSA has advised Brits to look out for vulnerable people, including older people, young children and those with underlying health conditions. Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), said: “Temperatures will feel very warm again this week, particularly in southern and central parts of the country.
