Weather Warning- Amber Alert (9th – 12th June 23)

The Met Office in conjunction with the UK Health and Security Agency have recently changed the way they issue Heat Health Alerts to a new Red, Amber, Yellow system.

Today an Amber alert has been issued for our area which is valid from 0900 09/06/23 until 0900 12/06/23, this is due to an increase in both day and night temperatures expected in the coming days.
