'National heatwave emergency' could be declared in UK as gritters tackle melting roads

A Cobra meeting was held at Downing Street yesterday by senior government officials, who met to discuss plans for the first-ever heatwave emergency following the amber heat warning, according to the Telegraph.

The UK Health Security Agency may also declare a national emergency with a 'level four emergency' if the heat becomes so extreme that 'illness and death may occur among the fit and healthy' as well as those more vulnerable. While fire services have urged people to have picnics instead of barbecues during the warm weather after a spate of grass fires.

Motorists have been urged to carry water with them, start their journeys earlier in the day, plan their routes and check their vehicles before setting off.

Absolute nonsense. We get hot weather every year. Hottest summer still 1976 over 40 years ago. Stop with the fear mongering

The summer of 76 was a glorious summer.. If we had that now the media would be having a meltdown.. (pun intended) 🌞🌞🌞

Let's see the worst in everything, says the LBC and the majority of the MSM. You lot are embarrassing ScumMedia

The only danger is the government and media.

It’s only a bit off sun try been out here in Spain im working over here and we had a wildfire last week right next to the campsite im working on

But it isn’t hotter than it has been in the past. Yet again, the world isn’t changing, our propensity to allow politicians and bureaucrats to determine how we live is

Heatwave? It’s SUMMER….

We need a 'national bullshit emergency' for stories like this.

'First ever', wow it's never been this hot in July before then - my memory of other summers over the last 53 years is sketchier than I thought

Why use a picture of people enjoying there self's relaxing and having ice-cream. People go to hotter countries 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Really !!

Phase 2....Hosepipe Ban.!! 🙄

Computer says nah😂

Oh no, best increase taxes and let some billionaires all fly somewhere and have a conference about it.

Warnings in place from 12:01 am 😂😂. That’s 5 hours before the sun comes up ffs!! Absolute rubbish as usual.

Ffs. Anything to ramp up the fear factor

LBC news is regime media

Jog on FFS

This is hysteria & hysterical...we spend 9 months of the year hoping to feel heat on our faces & immediately the sun achieves that the wailing starts. Get a grip!

You mean we are having a bit of summer at last……project fear alive and kicking.

We are not buying you climate Bullcrap. These temps your claiming must be models as my thermometers are saying diferent.

It's called summer get a grip🤡🤡🤡🤡

Oh no, it’s above 25 degrees for a few days in a row, this has never happened before. 🤦‍♂️
