A red weather warning is in place
The government has issued a number of guidelines for staying safe during the impending heatwave, which is set to arrive on Sunday. The Met Office amber and red weather warnings for "extreme heat" are in place until Tuesday.
This is the first time that a level four warning has been issued since the government's Heatwave Plan for England was first introduced, back in 2004. And the red weather warning for extreme heat, issued by the Met Office, is also the first of its kind in England. Government advice for staying safe in the heat: The temperatures that much of the country will be experiencing next week are "record temperatures", according to Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at the UK Health Security Agency. Dr Sousa added: "said: "It’s important we all know how to stay well in hot weather. Check up on vulnerable friends, family and neighbours to make sure they stay hydrated, keep cool and know how to keep their homes cool.
And people are now being warned to resist the urge to get out and enjoy the sun, as this is "not that sort of weather", according to the Met Offiice. Far from being encouraged to take to the beaches and parks, people are being told that it is much safer to stay indoors if it is cool, or remain in a shady spot outside.
And anyone due to travel next week, either on the roads or by rail, may find their journeys disrupted. Jake Kelly, of Network Rail, warned that journeys will take "significantly longer and delays are likely as speed restrictions are introduced to keep passengers and railway staff safe", urging people to travel only if absolutely necessary on Monday and Tuesday.
