The UK is baking as the Met Office issues a Level 3 Heatwave Warning – just one notch shy of a national emergency. Sweltering temperatures are set to scorch parts of the Midlands, eastern, and southeastern England.
Stay Out of the Sun and Stay Hydrated
Officials urge everyone to avoid direct sunlight and keep hydrated. Stay out of the sun,” the Met Office advises. “Keep your home as cool as possible by shading windows and shutting them during the day. Open them only when the temperature drops at night.”
Look Out for Vulnerable Neighbours
If you know anyone elderly or living alone, check they’re coping in this heatwave. The Met Office stresses the importance of supporting those at special risk during these scorching conditions.
