Level 2 heatwave alert issued for East of England, London & South east England
Current watch level: Level 2 - Alert and Readiness
Issued at: 11:51 on Fri 21 Jun 2019
There is a 70% probability of heat health criteria being met between 0800 on Tuesday and 0800 on Thursday in parts of England.
A spell of very warm and locally hot, humid weather is likely to begin this coming weekend with temperatures gradually climbing during next week, particularly in south east England where trigger criteria looks likely to be met. There is increased confidence of this happening, although details of exact temperatures remain a little uncertain at this time. With this hot weather, there is an increased risk of rain and thunderstorms especially in the North and West of England. This alert may be revised on Monday.
An update will be issued when the alert level changes in any region. Alerts are issued once a day by 0900 if required and are not subject to amendment in between standard issue times. Note that the details of the forecast weather are valid at the time of issue but may change over the period that an alert remains in force.
