The UK has been seeing a lot of hot weather the past few days, however, there has been a national emergency issued about the next extreme heat that could be on its way to the UK in some time! As this is a red alert heat warning.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the highest warning, meaning danger to life, that the UK has had in a long time, as temperatures could reach 40C in areas such as London, Manchester, and York.<\/p>\n

The hot weather is being treated as an national emergency with a contingency plan in place right now. This is confirmed by Downing Street.<\/p>\n

The level four alert means illness and death “may occur among the fit and healthy and not just in high-risk groups”, the UKHSA said.<\/p>\n
