Summary
UK braces for scorching heatwave with temps hitting 34°C in the South East, triggering yellow heat alerts and a hosepipe ban in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as water levels plummet. Health officials warn of life-threatening risks for the vulnerable, while social care services brace for increased demand. Dangerous water-related incidents are also on the rise as people seek relief. The Met Office predicts a prolonged but less intense heatwave, with peak temps expected Thursday-Friday, and Southern Water urges all to cut usage—except those with medical exemptions—to safeguard supplies and rivers.
