Heat alert in UK: Warnings issued across parts of England; here's how to stay safe
Image credits: getty images The time to spend some time indoors seems to be here in the UK. As temperatures soar to mid-30s Celsius, amber heat health warnings have been issued across parts of England. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has announced heat health warnings for the East Midlands, West Midlands, the East of England, London and the South-East from 9 am on Tuesday to 6 pm on Wednesday. Yellow warnings have been issued in the south-west, Yorkshire, the Humber, north-west and north-east for the same days. The agency said the heat was likely to have a significant impact on health and social care services, including potential for a rise in deaths, specifically among those over 65 and with health conditions. Additionally, forecasters have said constant days of high temperature could lead to the UK recording its fourth heatwave of the summer of 2025. A heatwave is considered when a location has at least three successive days with maximum temperatures exceeding a designated value, as per the Met Office. 'These kind of temperatures can result in serious health outcomes across the population … so it is important that everyone takes sensible precautions while enjoying the sun," said Dr Paul Coleman, a public health consultant at the UKHSA. 'If you have friends, family or neighbours who are vulnerable, it is important to ensure they are aware of the forecasts and are following the necessary advice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse?

Heat exhaustion and heatstroke amid heat alert Image credits: Getty Images Overheating during the summer often causes heat exhaustion or heatstroke. A heatstroke might require immediate treatment. According to the NHS, heat exhaustion has symptoms such as feeling faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, clammy skin, nausea or vomiting, and muscle cramps. Confusion, no sweating, temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius, hot and dry skin, nausea or vomiting, loss of consciousness, and convulsions or seizures as signs of a heatstroke. How to stay safe?

Wildfires in Spain kill one and force thousands to flee
A man died from burns and thousands of people were forced to flee as wildfires swept through parts of Spain on Tuesday, fuelled by strong winds during a searing heatwave. The victim suffered serious burns as winds of up to 70 kilometres (43 miles) per hour whipped the flames through Tres Cantos, a wealthy suburb north of the capital Madrid, officials said. He later died in hospital, in the first fatality from dozens of wildfires to have hit the country since the heatwave began last week. The head of the regional government of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayuso, said she "deeply regretted" the man's death in a message on X. Hundreds of residents in Tres Cantos were evacuated from their homes. "In barely 40 minutes, the fire advanced six kilometres," Carlos Novillo, Madrid's regional environment chief, told reporters. By Tuesday morning, regional officials said the blaze had been contained. Elsewhere, about 2,000 people were evacuated from hotels and homes near the popular beaches of Tarifa in the southern region of Andalusia. The wildfire broke out near where a similar blaze forced evacuations earlier this month. "We managed to save the residential area at the very last second," said Antonio Sanz, the interior minister in the regional government of Andalusia. A Civil Guard police officer was injured when struck by a car while helping with the evacuation, he added. In the northwestern region of Castile and Leon, more than 30 blazes were reported Monday, including one threatening Las Medulas, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ancient Roman gold mines. The wildfires coincide with what meteorologists expect to be the most intense day yet of the ongoing heatwave, with all regions under weather alerts. Forecasters warn of highs around 40 Celsius and overnight lows that remain above 25 Celsius.

Parts of Europe burn as millions are facing record heat
Synopsis Europe faces intense heat waves and wildfires. Spain, Portugal, and Turkey battle significant blazes, leading to evacuations. France issues a red alert for heat, while Greece deals with multiple fires and evacuations. Britain anticipates another heat wave. The events highlight the impact of climate change, with record temperatures exacerbating fire risks across the continent. AP Blazes burn trees during a wildfire in the village of Theriano near Patras city, western Greece, Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025. (AP Photo/Giannis Androutsopoulos) Wildfires burned in parts of Europe on Tuesday as millions of people across the continent struggled to adapt to the new reality: record summer heat. Temperatures in some areas soared past 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Europe is warming faster than any other continent, at twice the speed of the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service. Last year was the hottest year on record in Europe and globally, the monitoring agency said. Scientists warn climate change is exacerbating the frequency and intensity of heat and dryness, making parts of Europe more vulnerable to wildfires. The burning of fuels like gasoline, oil and coal releases heat-trapping gasses that are the main driver of climate change. Spain and Portugal: Numerous wildfires Outside Madrid, firefighters had largely contained a blaze that broke out Monday night, authorities said. It killed a man who suffered burns on 98% of his body, emergency services said. Elsewhere, firefighters and nearly 1,000 soldiers were battling blazes in regions including Castile and Leon, Castile-La Mancha, Andalusia and Galicia. Thousands of people evacuated homes and hotels, including holiday-goers at beaches at the southern tip of Spain. Regional authorities said Tuesday afternoon that some of those evacuated from beach locations could return to their hotels. In Portugal, more than 700 firefighters were working to control a fire in the municipality of Trancoso, about 350 kilometers (217 miles) northeast of Lisbon. Smaller fires were burning further north. Turkey: Thousands evacuated, some on boats Firefighters largely brought a major wildfire in northwest Turkey under control, the forestry minister announced, a day after the blaze prompted hundreds of evacuations and led to the suspension of maritime traffic. The blaze broke out on agricultural land in Canakkale province. Fanned by strong winds, it rapidly spread to a forested area, then to a residential one. It forced the evacuation of 2,000 residents - some by sea - and led to 77 hospitalizations due to smoke exposure, officials said. Firefighters were still battling two other wildfires in Manisa and Izmir provinces in western Turkey, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli said on social media. France: A red alert for heat The national weather authority placed most of France's southern region on the highest heat warning, with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) expected for the second consecutive day. The heat will spread to the northeast, including the Paris region, Meteo France said. Some municipalities offered free or discounted access to public swimming pools. Most regions in central and southern France were monitored for the high risk of forest fires, after a deadly blaze last week in the Aude region. Officials said the fire was under control but will not be fully extinguished for weeks, with hot spots at risk of reigniting. Greece: Multiple evacuations for fires In Greece, seven major wildfires mostly in the west forced multiple evacuations, destroying homes and businesses, while flames reached the outskirts of the country's third largest city. The fire service scrambled resources to the port city of Patras where a forest fire burning through mountain forest threatened an industrial area. High winds hindered firefighting efforts on the islands of Zakynthos and Kefalonia, where authorities were on standby to evacuate tourist resorts which were not in immediate danger. Other severe fires burned in several areas on the western Greek mainland and on the island of Chios in the eastern Aegean Sea. Nationwide, the civil protection service issued more than 20 mobile phone alerts Tuesday with evacuation orders and guidance. Britain: Another heat wave Temperatures were expected to hit 34 Celsius (93.2 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday and Wednesday, especially in southern parts of England, including London. Officials define a heat wave as temperatures exceeding 25 Celsius for most of the U.K. - and 28 Celsius in London and its surrounding area - for three consecutive days or more.
