The Met Office issued the alert, covering London and areas including the South East, East Midlands, East of England, West Midlands, and South Yorkshire, from 9 a.M. To midnight on Thursday. The warning comes as heatwaves continue to affect much of the UK, with officials urging residents to take precautions.
The extreme heat is expected to pose risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. Local authorities have been advised to monitor the situation closely and implement measures to ensure public safety. The Met Office has also recommended that people stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and check on neighbors who may be at higher risk.
With the heatwave likely to persist, emergency services are on high alert, and some areas may experience power outages or transport disruptions. The situation remains under close watch as the weather continues to develop.
