## Resource

UK swelters through record-breaking heat, with May’s hottest day ever recorded at Kew Gardens — 35.1°C — sparking amber and yellow health alerts as extreme temperatures threaten vulnerable populations, especially the elderly. Health officials urge staying indoors between 11 AM and 3 PM, taking cool showers, and checking on neighbors. Compounding the danger, a yellow thunderstorm warning brings risk of lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain — all while alerts have been extended through Thursday.
