London is currently experiencing a yellow heat health warning due to forecasted temperatures soaring to 29 degrees Celsius this week. The warning, issued by the UK Health Security Agency, will be in effect from June 18 to June 22. It carries a risk score of ten, indicating a low likelihood of medium impact, though concerns arise for vulnerable populations, particularly those aged 65 and over, along with expected increased demand for health services during this period.
A yellow heat health warning has been issued across London for the remainder of the week as temperatures in the capital soar.
The UK Health Security Agency (HSA) announced the weather health warning today (June 17), advising that the alerts will be in place between 12pm on June 18 and 6pm on June 22.
The hot temperatures over the coming days have resulted in a risk score of ten being calculated for the yellow alert.
