Warnings of impact on health care ahead of fifth heatwavepublished at 10:31 BST<\/p>\n

The UK Health Security Agency have just upgraded the heat health alerts to amber for most of England from Tuesday to Friday.<\/p>\n

They warn that significant impacts are likely across social and health care services due to high temperatures.<\/p>\n

Impacts are likely for those over 65 or with health conditions but there may also be impacts to younger age groups too.<\/p>\n

Amber alerts are in place for all regions of England, aside from the North East, which is under a yellow alert for the same period. <\/p>\n

The heatwave will start to develop from Tuesday and then intensify for many, peaking on Thursday or Friday. <\/p>\n

And just as we saw during the June and July heatwaves, it will be extreme for some with temperatures into the mid-30s Celsius.<\/p>\n

The hottest weather on Tuesday is likely to be across the Midlands, central southern England and east Wales where temperatures will rise to 28 to 30C.<\/p>\n

By Wednesday the heat will spread more widely across England and Wales, with temperatures widely 30 to 32C.<\/p>\n

Then by Thursday, even hotter still with the temperature exceeding 35C for some in the Midlands, eastern and South East England.<\/p>\n

The heat will persist on Friday for most but turning less hot across western areas – and then for all over the weekend as the heatwave eases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warnings of impact on health care ahead of fifth heatwavepublished at 10:31 BST 10:31 BST Simon KingLead weather…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[192,79],"class_list":["post-808921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
