Good Morning.
Please see attached updated Adverse Weather warnings from the Met Office. The Red Warning has now been extended to 23:50 hours on Thursday and Amber warnings are now in place for Friday and Saturday for parts of Oxfordshire
An exceptional spell of hot and humid weather is expected across this region, with impacts to the general population highly likely.
What to expect
Population-wide adverse health effects experienced, not limited to those most vulnerable to extreme heat, leading to serious illness or danger to life.
Substantial changes in working practices and daily routines will be required
High risk of failure of heat-sensitive systems and equipment, with the loss of power and other essential services, such as water, electricity, gas or mobile phone services
Significantly more people visiting coastal areas, lakes and rivers, leading to an increased risk of water safety incidents
Delays on roads and road closures, along with delays and cancellations to rail and air travel, with significant welfare issues for those who experience even moderate delays
