Amber heat warning in place as country braces for record temperatures

An amber warning for extreme heat has begun for England and parts of Wales as the UK braces for record temperatures.

The Met Office warning will extend to southern Scotland from Monday until Tuesday, when England's alert will rise to red for the first time. Transport for London has warned passengers in the capital to avoid all but essential travel on these days.That would be the highest temperature ever recorded in the UK - above the current high of 38.7C set in Cambridge in 2019.health problems are more likely for some; substantial changes are required to work and routines; water safety incidents could increase as people head to the coast, lakes and rivers; and transport delays are possible, with worries for those caught up in them.

Extra measures are being put in place by the government - more ambulance call handlers and extra capacity for the 111 helpline are planned for Monday and Tuesday.

Cancelled any work, pizza and burgers in the freezer, beers in the fridge, chairs and shades in the garden. What could go wrong?

Skin and sausages out so Lenny

Yes, we know 🙄

Invest in Uzbekistan

It’s summer - wonder how they have coped in the middle east for so long!!

Amber Heard warning

Doing catch up on the Tour de France, stage 12, riders climbing Alpe D'huez in 37C. I'm pretty sure I can survive an hour sat on my arse, drinking a beer in the garden. Well done Tom Pidcock. And the other Brits, none of whom melted.

And millions heading off on Summer holidays to much hotter places than the UK! A total overreaction from the BBC /media as usual for couple of days of warm weather! Stay indoors if you are that worried & drink plenty of water but I suspect most people will be off to the beach!

Your sensationalist reporting on the 2 day doomsday dire disasterous heatwave is utterly embarrassing. The standard of bbc journalism on natural events like these has gone through the floor. Get a bloody grip.

why are schools still staying open then 💀

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Thick cloud and rain where i live.

Just do the opposite in winter...

Just when it couldn’t get any worse, Jaws……. 🦈

Stop with the project Fear...

It’s going to rain on Wednesday, so STOP SCAREMONGERING!

There's an urgent needs to put in place scientific packages that can pacify our grieved weather. Is there no way that we can produce or enhance the existing ozone layers so that they can help to reduce penetration of ultraviolet responsible for the constant rise in temperature?

Hyperbolic bollocks

The best thing anyone who needs advice of the government for what to do in hot weather, can do is not procreate. The human gene pool doesn’t need what they have to offer

Oh- I was panicking, as you said it was a RED warning. Frigging 🤡 🤡 🤡

Try doing a weather forecast outside of London. Cloudy in Leeds and apart from being a bit sunny you can stick the heatwave up your biased Southern arses

Apparently it’s woke to worry about the heat, but why is it always the anti-woke who always appear like they’re about to spontaneously combust?

Oh get over yourselves. The weather is lovely, I usually have to pay a fortune to fly to Dubai to get weather like this.
