The alert is in place all weekend

The Met Office has issued a heat health alert for much of the UK, including London, as temperatures as high as 29C are forecast in the coming days.

The alert means the high temperatures are expected to impact the health and social care sector as there may be an increase in mortality, particularly for over 65s or those with health conditions. However, even younger age groups may need treatment or support.
