The Met Office warning covers parts of England from Thursday morning until 11.59pm, while amber heat-health alerts issued by the UK Health Security Agency remain in force across the country. According to the Manchester Evening News, places covered by the north-west warning include Knutsford<\/strong>, Congleton <\/strong>and Cheadle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials are urging people to take straightforward precautions during the hottest part of the day. The advice includes drinking plenty of water, checking on vulnerable relatives, friends and neighbours, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun when temperatures are at their highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warnings also draw attention to people who may be more affected by the heat, particularly older adults, those with underlying health conditions and people who live alone. The UKHSA has warned that extreme heat can lead to a rise in deaths, especially among people aged 65 and over or those already living with health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures Rise as Officials Warn of Health Impacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Met Office said the most intense heat would be relatively short-lived compared with some recent heatwaves<\/a>, but temperatures are still expected to reach levels capable of causing disruption. According to Met Office chief forecaster Chris Bulmer<\/strong>, temperatures are expected to rise \u201cwidely into the mid-30s Celsius on Thursday\u201d, creating the potential for impacts in some areas. He said this was the reason an official Met Office warning <\/strong>had been issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health services are also part of the concern surrounding the latest spell of hot weather. The UKHSA\u2019s amber alerts indicate that high temperatures are likely to have a significant effect on health and care services. Officials have advised people to remain hydrated and to pay particular attention to anyone who may find it difficult to keep cool. Those worried about their own health, or the health of someone else, have been advised to contact NHS 111<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
