Heat Health Alert issued for Wiltshire and Hampshire
It's in place until Saturday morning (19th August)
As we see the sunshine arrive again in Wiltshire and Hampshire, it comes with a heat health alert.
It's been issued by the UK Health Security Agency for the whole of the South of England.
It's in place from this lunchtime (Wednesday 16th August) until 9.00am on Saturday morning (19th August).
The alert explains what we can expect:
"Minor impacts are probable across the health and social care sector, including: increased use of healthcare services by the vulnerable population; increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm."
Temperatures are expected to reach the mid 20s, with some thundery showers possible, especially on Friday.
Similar conditions are forecast into next week too.
