As a heatwave continues to sweep across the UK, temperatures in Manchester will be hotter than some popular holiday destinations abroad today, including Istanbul.
The Turkish capital will be reaching temperatures as high as 27C but will be outdone by Manchester today with a scorching sun and clear skies culminating in 28C for most of the afternoon, according to the Met Office. Meanwhile, a heat-health alert has been issued by the UKHSA across the South East and South of England.
The level 3 alert, which is currently in place for today (July 11) until Friday, July 15, means that everyone must be careful while outside today and must pay extra attention to how the heat will affect them. Those especially vulnerable to the heat must ensure that they stay in the shade, keep cool and remain hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
