The UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat health alerts across most of England.
Monday was the hottest day of the year so far, reaching 28.3C in Surrey, and temperatures are expected to rise even higher in parts of England on Wednesday
Andrea Bishop, a Met Office spokeswoman, said it will continue to be “very warm” across much of the country over the next few days, though conditions in the west and the South West will be “nearer average temperatures”. Age UK recommends older people take particular care not to spend too much time outside during the hottest part of the day – between 11am and 3pm – and keep the blinds down and windows closed to remain cool inside.
Dr Powles said: “We should drink 1.5 to two litres of fluid a day, which is about eight to 10 glasses. However, if you’re in the heat during the day you can become dehydrated quicker, so drink more often and aim for at least two litres.” Rob Martin, managing director of care services at Anchor, said the later living charity was urging “the wider community to keep a close eye on older neighbours and their older relatives who may live alone and are more vulnerable in the heat.”
