Heatwave to hit 35°C as amber health alerts in place ...Middle East

Temperatures are to rise as high as 35°C on Saturday as the third heatwave of the year hits large parts of the UK.

A second water company announced a hosepipe ban on Friday amid drought fears and amber heat health alerts were issued across London, the Midlands, the South East, South West and East of England.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the alerts will be in place until 9am on Monday as it warned of a “rise in deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions”, as a result of the heat.

UKHSA has also issued yellow heat health alerts covering the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber until 9am on Monday, with health and social care services set to experience “significant impacts”.

Met Office Senior Operational Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said highs of around 30°C are expected in Scotland and Northern Ireland, while the mercury is set to climb to 33°C in Wales and as high as 35°C in parts of England.

He told The i Paper: “For today, the highest temperatures are likely to be very similar to yesterday, so 33-34°C across southwestern parts of the West Midlands across into southeast Wales.

“The rest of the England and Wales will see temperatures largely 27-32°C, but the east coast will be lower at around 18-25°C.”

Sunday will be mostly dry across the UK with sunny spells, he said, adding that temperatures are expected to range between 28-30°C across southern parts of England and Wales.

The rest of the England and Wales will experience temperatures between 24-27°C, with the mercury ranging between 18-22°C along the east cost.

A few evening heavy showers could develop across northern England and Northern Ireland by Sunday evening, Mr Dewhurst added.

Yorkshire Water introduced restrictions on Friday after the region experienced its driest spring in 132 years.

South East Water on Friday also announced a hosepipe ban for more than one million customers in Kent and Sussex.

In June, reservoirs across England were 76 per cent full, dropping to their lowest level in a decade.

Earlier this week, Thames Water, which supplies millions of customers across parts of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Kent, Surrey, the Thames Valley and Greater London, said it may have to introduce water restrictions “unless the situation changes significantly”.

After introducing a hosepipe ban, Yorkshire Water’s director of water, Dave Kaye, warned restrictions could last until winter, adding that action was needed “now” to conserve water and protect the environment.

The water firm has placed restrictions on using hosepipes for activities such as watering the garden, cleaning cars and filling paddling pools, which it said is part of its efforts to protect supplies in the face of yet more dry weather forecast for the coming weeks.

Customers who breach the ban could face fines of up to £1,000, but the utility previously said “we hope it won’t come to that”.

HM Coastguard has issued safety advice for people seeking to swim to cool down, saying data from the water incident database shows most drownings occurred in July over the last three years.

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) also asked people not to enter water to cope with the heat It urged parents and carers to ensure children are supervised around water at all times.

Steve Cole, Policy Director at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said: “Heat is no longer just a holiday perk – it’s a growing public health risk.

“We’re seeing more frequent and intense heatwaves, both in the UK and globally, and the data shows a clear rise in heat-related illness and fatalities.

“Warm weather can also be deceptive when it comes to going for a dip. While the air may feel hot, water temperatures often remain dangerously cold, which can lead to cold water shock, even in summer.”
