Amber warning extended

Amber warning extended

Dear Residents,

With high temperatures expected this weekend, please take extra care to stay safe and comfortable in the heat. Here are a few helpful tips:

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty.

Keep your home cool by closing curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day and opening windows when temperatures drop in the evening.

Avoid strenuous activities during peak heat hours, typically between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and use sunscreen if spending time outdoors.

Check on vulnerable neighbours, friends, and family members, particularly older adults, young children, and those with existing health conditions.

Never leave children or pets in parked vehicles, even for a short period of time.

If you feel unwell, dizzy, or experience symptoms of heat exhaustion, move to a cool place, drink water, and seek medical advice if necessary.

⚠️⚠️ Amber weather warning updated ⚠️⚠️

The Met Office Amber Extreme Heat Warning has been extended into Sunday morning for those in central and eastern parts of England with a further very warm and humid night on the way, though the end of the heatwave is in sight.

Temperatures have been dropping from the west, with fresher conditions slowly spreading further east through the weekend.

Despite the change on the way, those further east in England retain the warmth the longest and will be in for another very warm night where temperatures for some don’t drop below 20°C, which has resulted in an extension in the Amber warning into Sunday morning.
