UK Health Security Agency has hit most of the country with a heat-health alert
A heat-health alert warning has been issued for Yorkshire as temperatures continue to soar. Yorkshire residents will see highs of 31C and 32C this week as the Met Office warn of a heatwave.
Regions included in the warning are: Yorkshire and Humber, London, the South East, the South West, the East and West Midlands, the East, and the North West. The warning is in place between 2pm on Monday, September 4, and 9pm on Sunday, September 10.The Met Office has said temperatures could be 4C hotter than Ibiza and British temperatures could also be warmer than Ayia Napa in Cyprus and Athens in Greece, where it could be 27C on Thursday.
He added: "As we move through to Thursday, another hot day with highs of 31 to 32. And again, another warm night with potential for a tropical night on Thursday." The Met Office has explained tropical storms in the far western Atlantic and deep areas of low pressure have helped to amplify the jet stream over the Atlantic Ocean and has led to high pressure "dominating over the UK".
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has urged people to stay safe while visiting the coast as temperatures soar. Ross Macleod, RNLI water safety manager, said: "As the peak season finishes for RNLI lifeguards and with a reduction of lifeguarded beaches, we’re asking people to continue to take care and be aware of the dangers.
