Amber Heat Health Alert

From 9pm on 26/06/2026 until 9am on 28/06/2026

Significant impacts are expected across health and social care services due to the high temperatures.

The temperature is falling, but it is still very hot. Please continue to drink plenty of fluids, stay in the shade and look out for people who might have struggled with the extreme heat over the last few days, such as elderly relatives and neighbours. For more information on staying safe in the heat:

  • Visit our Heatwave health advice page
  • Check the Governments Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather
  • Visit the NHS's pages Heatwave: how to cope in hot weather 

Remember to stay safe and look after yourself. If any symptoms do not improve after cooling down and drinking fluids, or if someone becomes confused, loses consciousness or stops sweating despite feeling hot, contact NHS 111 or call 999 if it is an emergency.
