What is a red severe weather warning?
The Met Office is forecasting an exceptionally hot spell on Monday and Tuesday leading to âwidespread impacts on people and infrastructureâ.
A red weather warning has been announced for parts of the country - these are issued when âdangerous weather is expectedâ.
During this period you should take action to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather, if you havenât already done so.
What weather warnings mean
Cabinet Office minister Kit Malthouse has said the Government is preparing for a âsurgeâ in demand on the NHS and other services due to the expected heatwave.
After chairing a meeting of the Cobra civil contingencies committee in Whitehall, Mr Malthouse urged the public to look out for people who were particularly vulnerable in the heat.
