Want to enjoy the heat and the sunshine in a safe way? Then read this blog from the UK Health Security Agency on how to safely cope with adverse weather warnings. 

At this time of year most of us look forward to some warm, sunny weather and the chance to spend time outdoors, but it’s important to remember that some people struggle to cope in the heat.

The alert system follows the publication of the Adverse Weather and Health Plan last month and will focus more specifically on the health impacts that high temperatures could have on the health of the population.
