UK Braces for Early Super Heatwave with Health Alert Issued and Record Temperatures Expected

The UK is preparing for a heatwave expected to bring temperatures as high as 30°C next week, marking the hottest days of the year so far. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a yellow heat-health alert from June 24 to June 27, advising the health and social care sectors to prepare for increased demand from vulnerable populations. The Met Office predicts that the heatwave will affect central and southern England the most, with temperatures needing to stay above thresholds for three consecutive days to be classified as a heatwave. This improvement in weather comes after one of the wettest Junes on record and will coincide with major events like Glastonbury Festival. Meanwhile, India anticipates the monsoon season advancing into several states, bringing widespread rain and relief from severe heat across the nation.
