The Met Office has issued a 48-hour heat alert covering the UK this weekend, as temperatures are due to hit a scorching 29C. The forecasters and UK Health and Security Agency (UKHSA), are warning Brits to stay safe in the sun over the next few days.
While the heat burst could be shortlived, vulnerable Brits could suffer some serious health consequences. The UKHSA has released a yellow heat-health alert (HHA) from 12pm on Friday, July 7, that will last nearly two days as low pressure builds over the UK
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris said a plume of "very warm air" would prompt the heat surge. The six regions covered by the warning include London, South East, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England and Yorkshire and the Humber.
