UK weather: Heat health alert issued for most of England - with warning of 'significant impacts' in parts of countrynews.sky.com The alert warns of the threat of increased deaths among older and vulnerable people - with the heat expected to last until midweek before giving way to showers, thunderstorms and persistent rain.

because weather warnings are primarily for service providers, who should have various protocols to action. protocols should be proportionate but these warnings are their triggers

Interesting (genuinely, this is not snark). I’d not considered that the warnings were for the public but for providers. Many thanks.

I used to think that too - then one of my friends went to work at the Met Office! the public can get a secondary benefit from them for sure. :)

Because there are lots of people that will cause health issues for in the same way cold weather is bad for health Warning helps people manage and reduces pressure on NHS
