The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued two amber warnings for north-east and north-west England, which will be in place between 8pm on Sunday until midday on Monday 5 January. The agency warned that expected low temperatures would probably result in the increased use of healthcare services by vulnerable people and could lead to a rise in the number of deaths, particularly among those aged 65 and over or those with pre-existing health conditions, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Amber health alerts have been extended as the UK heatwave intensifies, warning of dangerous temperatures affecting health services and the wider population.

The UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat health alerts as temperatures in England rise to 32C, signaling potential health impacts this week.
