UKHSA Issues Cold Weather Health Alert
A cold health alert is in force across large swathes of England, running from 6am Friday to 8am Monday. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warns the plunging temps will put vulnerable groups at greater risk and push healthcare services to their limits.
The Environment Agency warns of a “significant risk” of groundwater flooding that could persist into spring, threatening communities already battered by relentless rain.
