Public transport users warned to avoid travelling and doctors urge caution in first heat warning of the year

With forecasts predicting soaring temperatures this weekend, doctors are urging the public to exercise extreme caution this weekend to avoid potentially severe consequences of heat-related conditions, such as heat stroke and dehydration.

Public transport users have been warned by Transport of Greater Manchester (TfGM) this morning (June 10) amid the major event weekend unfolding across the city. "Whether you’re heading to an event or getting from A to B today, it's set to be a scorcher," said TfGM.

The advice from the operator urged people to avoid travelling during the hottest period of the day. It continued: "Be prepared: Make sure you carry water with you. Avoid travelling at the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm). Stay in the shade."
