We’re facing a possible record-breaking week with temperatures potentially surpassing the 35.6°C mark set in 1976.

The amber warning not only sounds alarms for the general public but also highlights potential health risks, especially for vulnerable groups. Schools are in action mode too, with students being advised to stay hydrated, sport hats or caps, and lather on the sunscreen.
If cooling off at the beach or river sounds like your plan, remember sea waters are still chilly, and can lead to cold water shock. The RNLI reminds all ocean lovers to “Float to Live” and stick to lifeguarded beaches for safety.
Despite the sizzling heatwave, a glimmer of hope might come with scattered thunderstorms predicted for Monday and Tuesday. 🌩️ All fingers crossed they bring some relief!
Climate experts underscore that the regular appearance of intense heatwaves echoes long-term warming trends, influenced heavily by human-induced climate change.
