Yellow Heat-Health Alerts Issued Across UK, Netherlands as Temperatures Top 30C

Heat warnings and yellow heat-health alerts have been issued across parts of the Netherlands and the UK as temperatures reach or exceed 30 degrees Celsius. In the Netherlands, a heat protocol was activated to support drivers during high temperatures, with expected maximums between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius, particularly impacting eastern provinces. Meanwhile, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued its first yellow heat-health alert of the year covering regions including East of England, East Midlands, London, and South East, warning that even moderate heat poses health risks particularly to those over 65 or with pre-existing conditions. The alert runs from June 12 to 15, with officials urging people to check on vulnerable individuals and take sensible precautions. Additionally, the Met Office has issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for several regions, with heavy rain and thunderstorms expected to accompany the warm weather. Authorities in both countries emphasize preparedness to mitigate health impacts from the heat and related weather conditions.
