As temperatures in the North West of England are set to soar, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a yellow heat-health alert. Forecasts predict highs of 34 degrees Celsius on May 25 and 31 degrees Celsius on May 26. The alert serves as an early warning for health and social sectors, indicating that there may be 'significant impacts' due to the heat. The UKHSA warns of a likely increase in demand for health services, with internal temperatures in hospitals and care homes potentially exceeding recommended safety thresholds. Vulnerable populations, particularly individuals aged 65 and over or those with existing health conditions, may face heightened risks, although the overall likelihood of severe outcomes is deemed low. NHS North West has urged the public to take precautions, emphasizing the importance of hydration and sun protection during the upcoming bank holiday weekend. Yellow alerts are in place across much of the UK, with more serious amber alerts issued in regions such as the West Midlands and East Midlands.
