Another amber heat health warning for Wiltshire and Hampshire

Highs are expected in the mid 30s

Published 8th Aug 2022

An amber heat health alert's been issued as temperatures continue to rise.

It's in place from midday tomorrow (Tuesday 9 August 2022) until Saturday evening, covering the whole of the South, including Salisbury, South Wiltshire and West Hampshire.

Highs are expected in the mid 30Cs later this week

But forecasters say we're not going to see any more record-breaking temperatures following the low 40s in July.

In the alert issued on its website, the Met Office said:

"There is a 90 % probability of Heat-Health Alert criteria being met between 1200 on Tuesday 09 Aug and 1800 on Saturday 13 Aug in parts of England.

"High pressure dominating this week, with fine and dry conditions across most of the country, prolonged sunny spells and light to moderate breezes.

"Temperatures rising from warm or very warm to locally hot in most regions, with a focus of the warmest weather in central-southern England.

"Headline max temperatures reaching mid 30's by Friday.

"The biggest question mark is over the end of the hot spell, with recent models indicating thundery showers arriving from as early as Saturday 13th, but perhaps as late as Tuesday 16th. Confidence on this will likely increase later in the week."
