As the British summer heats up, a GP has revealed five common sunscreen mistakes people make that could put you at serious risk from the sun's strong UV rays. Some areas of the UK will reach temperatures in excess of 30C today, with a Level 2 Heat-Health Alert issued for the much of southern and central England, and a Level 1 Alert in place for northern England.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Rudman, said: “Temperatures will continue to rise as we go through the week, becoming well above-average by Friday when many parts of the southern half of the UK are likely to exceed 30C and may even reach 34C in some places.
“This is the first spell of hot weather this year and it is unusual for temperatures to exceed these values in June. Many areas will also see some warm nights with minimum temperatures expected to be in the high teens or even low 20Cs for some overnight.”
