Extreme Heat To Peak Early Next Week In Sussex

Wednesday, 13 July 2022 14:46

The Met Office has extended an Amber Extreme heat warning, as temperatures will build this weekend and early next week for much of England and Wales.

The Amber warning, which has been issued for Sunday, Monday and now Tuesday, highlights likely adverse health effects for the public, not just limited to those most vulnerable to extreme heat.

Temperatures could peak in excess of 35C in the southeast, and more widely around 32C within the warning area, with Monday and Tuesday most likely to see temperatures around this level.  

The Amber warning comes at the end of a week when the UK will see widely-above average temperatures, with little relief from the heat at night. A  Level 3 UK Health Security Agency Heat Health Alert has also been issued from Saturday to Tuesday, advising people to look out for vulnerable people and those with underlying health conditions.  

Heatwave criteria, when specific temperature thresholds must be exceeded three days running, had already been met in some locations earlier this week, and are expected to be met again by early next week. This is most likely across England and Wales, but also fairly likely for eastern Scotland too.
