❗*Amber heat-health alert issued for the South-East*❗ An amber heat-health alert is currently in effect for Surrey. To stay safe during the hot weather, it's important to avoid direct sunlight—especially between 11am and 3pm, when UV rays are at their strongest. While anyone can be affected by extreme heat, certain groups are more vulnerable. Older adults, people with long-term health conditions, and young children may find it harder to stay cool and hydrated. Take extra care to check in on those who might need support.
