The UK Met Office has announced an extension of its red heat warning, which is now in effect until Friday night. This warning indicates that dangerously high temperatures are expected, particularly in eastern and southeastern regions of England.
As temperatures soar, the impact of the heatwave is being felt across Europe, with reports of increasing heatwave-related deaths in various countries. This situation raises concerns about public health and safety.
In response to the extreme weather, South East Water has implemented a temporary hosepipe ban in Kent, highlighting the need for water conservation during this heatwave.
