View current Weather-Health Alerting situation

Overview of hot weather over the next 5 days

Unsettled across northern and western England through the interval, with periods of cloud and rain but the odd warm day during brief, settled spells. More settled weather across the south with warm and humid days, and potential for temperatures to reach mid to high 20's but these likely accompanied by chillier nights so heat health thresholds not likely to be reached.

Overview of hot weather over the next 6 to 15 days

Turning increasingly unsettled across the country although temperatures likely to remain above average with potential for warm/very warm days remains in the south/south east. However, peak temperatures short-lived and overnight temperatures below thresholds so unlikely to be low alert unlikely to be required..

Overview of hot weather over the next 16 to 30 days

While temperatures are likely to remain above average, a decreasing likelihood of thresholds being reached with rapidly shortening days as mid to late October approaches. More widespread and frequent wet and windy weather is likely to develop.
