A heat-health alert is issued and people are advised not to light barbecues in the Peak District
This warning means "exceptionally high temperatures are possible during Sunday and could lead to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure".It is very hot this afternoon with highs of up to 31C and with that comes an upgrade in a heat-health alert from the Met Office.How do we get to a heatwave? We need to reach a temperature threshold for a certain region - ours is around 28C - and we need to reach it or go above it for three consecutive days.
There is nothing too scary about heat-health alerts - they are there to tell you to be sensible with the weather conditions and keep hydrated, keep yourself cool and keep sun cream topped up because the UV levels are high. Severn Trent has also warned people not to swim in its reservoirs as machinery can create dangerous currents.
Ian Drury from Severn Trent said: "These nice bodies of water can look tempting, we understand that but they are not designed for open water swimming. They are operational sites."Image source,
