The Met Office has issued a level 2 heat alert for Tuesday to Friday next week.

The level of alert for the heatwave has been raised to level 2

The Met Office, in conjunction with the UK Health Security Agency , has issued a level 2 heat alert, with a high probability of heatwave criteria being met between Tuesday and Friday next week. With temperatures set to rise over the next few days, the NHS has urged people to be careful when going outside.

Angela Tranter, nurse practitioner in the Black Country, said: “As temperatures rise, check on any neighbours that may be vulnerable or friends and family to make sure their houses are nice and cool, if they need help with opening windows, buying fans or anything you can think of. “The main risks posed by a heatwave are dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke, as well as overheating, which can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart or breathing.“Try and stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm and look out for any heat-related symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting.For more information on how to cope in hot weather, visit

This Is Going To Hurt creator Adam Kay issues NHS suicide warningMany fans have been visiting the site hoping to find a memorial tree, which was planted in the show. Could this be partially linked to the fact that the doctors/nurses that issued the experimental toxic jab ( now proven to be toxic) and them realising that fact? That and the Nuremberg Code will come into play soon enough…”I was only following orders” won’t be a valid excuse 👍 Show this is to Jeremy Hunt for all the damage he has done to junior doctors and what they are going through due to his policies. Do you see ministers committing suicide? They are busy claiming expenses I suppose! THIS GOVERNMENT DOES NOT TREAT THESE WORKERS WITH ANY RESPECT, THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE, POOR PAY, POOR P.P.I. LONG HOURS, BULLYING, PATIENT ATTACKS, UNDERSTAFF!
