The UK Health Security Agency has issued a yellow heat-health alert for the South West, effective from 2 PM today until 5 PM on May 27. The heat may strain health services, particularly affecting individuals over 65 and those with pre-existing health issues. Residents are advised to keep their homes cool, stay out of the sun between 11 AM and 3 PM, wear appropriate clothing, and stay hydrated. Additionally, the UKHSA warns of open water risks, highlighting the dangers of cold-water shock and recommending swimming only in supervised areas.
