Heat Health Warning Issued with Possible 'Rise in Deaths' Across London
- The UK Health Security Agency issued a yellow heat health warning for London on June 17, 2025, lasting from June 18 to June 22 due to soaring temperatures.
- The warning follows forecasts of temperatures up to 29 degrees Celsius and heatwave conditions expected across parts of the UK later this week.
- The hot weather may raise deaths especially among people aged 65 and over, increase demand for health services, and cause rail speed restrictions to maintain safety.
- The yellow alert carries a risk score of ten, suggesting a low chance of moderate effects, while Network Rail recommends passengers plan ahead and check travel updates due to track temperatures potentially rising significantly above the surrounding air temperature.
- The ongoing heat highlights the importance of hydration and cooling strategies, as heat is a silent killer with chronic exposure increasing health risks and emergency visits during heatwaves.
