Weather warning as Nottinghamshire temperatures set to hit 35C
An amber weather warning is in place across Nottinghamshire with temperatures expected to peak at 35C on Thursday.
Both the Met Office and The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued amber warnings for the region with hot and humid weather expected to continue through the middle of the week, with exceptionally warm temperatures both day and night.
Tomorrow (Tuesday June 23) will see temperatures of 33C, rising to 34C on Wednesday (June 24) and peaking at 35C on Thursday.
Residents are being warned to take extra precautions in the heat with ‘population-wide adverse health effects’ expected as a result.
Residents are being reminded that hospitals and care services may be busier than normal and “substantial changes in working practices and daily routines likely to be required.”
Travel disruption and delays are also predicted as a result of the heatwave.
Residents are advised to drink lots of water, stay out of the sun when it is hottest, keep your home cool and check on family, friends, and neighbours who may need help.
The news comes as red ‘extreme heat warnings’ have been issued for other parts of England and Wales where temperatures are expected to soar to around 40C.
The rare red warning covers central, southern and south-east England, and parts of south Wales.
