Experts have warned that the worryingly hot weather could lead to 'widespread impacts on people and infrastructure'
Greater Manchester is set to be hotter than the Maldives on Tuesday as the Met Office issues its first 'extreme heat' weather warning. The red warning - the highest alert possible - will be in place across much of England from midnight on Monday to 11.59pm on Tuesday.
In Rochdale, the Met Office predicts it could get as hot as 34C - four degrees warmer than in The Bahamas. Forecasters had previously issued an amber warning for parts of the UK, but it was upgraded to red today. The nights on Monday and Tuesday are expected to be extremely warm, especially in urban areas. In Greater Manchester, the mercury is expected to reach 32C on Monday.
Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said: “If people have vulnerable relatives or neighbours, now is the time to make sure they’re putting suitable measures in place to be able to cope with the heat because if the forecast is as we think it will be in the red warning area, then people’s lives are at risk. This is a very serious situation.”
