Hospitals are urging Greater Manchester residents to keep safe as temperatures climb this week. The region has been placed under a rare red weather warning for extreme heat as temperatures are set to soar.
The warning, the first of its kind, covers a large area of England from London up to Manchester and Yorkshire and will be in place until Tuesday night. According to the Met Office, temperatures will reach the mid-30s in Greater Manchester with some boroughs seeing highs of 36C on Monday, which could pose a danger to life.
The region’s hospitals, including the Royal Bolton Hospital, have issued advice today (Monday) to help people stay well in the conditions. Here are the hospital trust’s tips for keeping safe.
