The Met Office has issued an amber Extreme Heat warning for parts of southern and eastern England and south Wales.<\/p>\n

The warning, external<\/a> is valid for Monday and Tuesday and warns of temperatures peaking at 35C (95F).<\/p>\n

The nights will also be hot, remaining above 20C in some locations.<\/p>\n

The developing heatwave is likely to have widespread impacts on people and infrastructure.<\/p>\n

It brings the risk of impacts to health, especially for vulnerable people, and the danger of sunburn and heat exhaustion in the wider population.<\/p>\n

People travelling to coasts, lakes and rivers are being warned to stay safe in and around water.<\/p>\n

Some travel delays and disruption are also likely.<\/p>\n

This is only the fifth amber Extreme Heat warning that has been issued by the Met Office since they were introduced in 2021 – and the first since the unprecedented 40C heatwave of 2022, when a more severe red warning was also issued.<\/p>\n

It is separate from the amber and yellow Heat Health Alerts<\/a> that had already been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).<\/p>\n

Those alerts, valid for regions of southern and eastern England until Tuesday, warn of significant impacts to health and social care services – with a likely increase in deaths among elderly and vulnerable people.<\/p>\n

In contrast, this Met Office warning suggests that the heat will have effects on the general population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Met Office has issued an amber Extreme Heat warning for parts of southern and eastern England and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":647061,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-647060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/647061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
