Bolton is set for another warm week with a yellow heat health alert issued as temperatures set to hit highs of 25°C.

A yellow heat health alert has been issued jointly by the UK Health Security Agency and the Met Office, across every region in England except the north east.

The heat alert includes Bolton and has been in force since 8am this morning, June 24 and will remain in place until June 27 at 5pm.

The UKHSA said minor impacts are probable across the health and social care sector, including an increased use of healthcare services by the vulnerable population and an increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm.

In some parts of the country, temperatures are expected to spike at 31°C in parts over the coming days, and many places will see the thermometer reach the mid-20s.

Looking towards the weekend the weather is set to be cloudy with sunny intervals and temperatures set to remain in the high teens.

Liam Esslick, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “According to the latest models, there is a chance temperatures could reach 30°C.

“It’s not guaranteed but this will likely be towards the south-east of England, particularly London, Essex and Kent.

“My advice to people would be by all means go out and enjoy. They have been waiting for summer.

“But UV levels are going to be high, and the sun will be very intense. Wear protection like sun cream, stay hydrated and try to get some shade in the midday sun.

“People sensitive to the sun should take particular precautions.”

Mr Esslick added that the longer-term weather forecast remains uncertain, with a “breakdown” expected from late Wednesday into Thursday.

He said: “It could be a little thundery with a breakdown towards the back end of the week.

“But Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are looking fine.”
