The British Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office on Monday issued an amber heat-health alert (HHA) for five regions of England, effective from Tuesday, as hot weather is expected to grip much of the country this week.



The amber alert, described as an "enhanced hot weather response," covers the West Midlands, East Midlands, South East, London, and East of England.



In addition, a yellow alert has been issued for the North West and North East regions during the same period. The South West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions remain under a yellow HHA already in force.
