Over-65s and anyone with heart or lung conditions: that is who the UK Health Security Agency is flagging as amber heat alerts cover eight English regions until 9pm Sunday. Officials say this spell should hit less hard than the 37.7C heatwave in late June, but sustained warmth still endangers older people. The advice: stay hydrated, avoid midday sun, and check on elderly neighbours.
