The Met Office has today issued a Yellow Heat Health Alert for the South East, which is due to run from 9am next Monday 29 July until 11pm on Wednesday.

If you can, check in on vulnerable/elderly family, friends and neighbours because they’re more likely to be affected by hot weather. And keep an eye on children too.

One way to keep indoors cooler, is to close those curtains and blinds facing the sun during the day.
