LONDON, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Britain's Health Safety Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office on Monday issued an amber heat alert for five regions of England from Tuesday.
The Amber Warning covers the West Midlands, East Midlands, South East England, London and East Anglia.
In addition, a yellow alert has been issued for the North West and North East of England for the same period. South West England and Yorkshire and the Humber had previously been at that level.
The Met Office said a combination of high air pressure and southerly winds would push temperatures up across much of England and Wales in the first half of the week, with some areas reaching above 30C on Monday. London is likely to peak at around 35C on Tuesday.
Met Office deputy chief executive Tom Crabtree said heat would dominate the first half of the week but temperatures would remain above average in the second half, particularly in the south-east of England.
Forecasters said much of southern and central England was likely to meet official heatwave criteria by Wednesday, with three consecutive days of exceeding thresholds.
The UKHSA has warned that high temperatures will significantly increase the pressure on health and social care services. UKHSA public health adviser Paul Coleman said the heatwave could cause serious health problems, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly and sick. He urged Britons to enjoy the sunshine while taking sensible precautions. –0–
