Heatwave conditions set to bathe the South West in sunshine have sparked a heat health warning to be issued. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Met Office has set up the alert which covers seven areas of the country from 9am tomorrow (June 23) to 9am on Monday (June 26).
Along with the West Country, the other regions included in the warning are London, South East, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The warning adds a "sustained period of hot weather" has been forecast.
Bosses at the UKHSA and Met Office have urged people at risk include those with pre-existing medical conditions and anyone aged 65 and over. People have been urged to check in on friends and family during the alert period, which covers most of the Glastonbury Festival weekend.
