People in more vulnerable situations should take extra steps to avoid high heat and stay cool over the next several days and into next week.
Throughout Britain, England’s central and southeast communities are projected to have the highest heat as this week wraps up. However, by the start of next week, temperatures in the United Kingdom will likely mellow out and cool down.
As Brits prepare for the uptick in heat, the Met Office revealed that Saharan dust is the likely culprit for the fleeting rise in temperatures.
Staying cool at home
While heat goes up in the United Kingdom, keeping homes cool is going to be an important step in the days ahead.
Turning on fans to maintain a flowing internal breeze, temporarily moderating usage of household appliances that can increase heat, and wearing loose clothes are each steps Brits can take to keep themselves cool.
Eating colder foods and drinking lots of water can also help people in the United Kingdom ward off high heat.
For those who may struggle with keeping their homes cool, air-conditioned places of business, such as malls, libraries, or even restaurants, are great environments worth spending time in.
