Due to danger of heat, the Government will hold an extraordinary meeting of Cobra today

In the UK, ministers plan to hold an emergency Cobra meeting today due to potentially life-threatening record high temperatures.

Minister Keith Malthaus of the Cabinet Office will chair a meeting of the Government’s Private Cobra Emergency Committee to discuss how to respond.

This will be the second Cobra meeting chaired by Mr. Malthaus on this topic.

The Met Office has issued the first ever red alert against extreme heat, with a 50% chance temperatures will reach 40C next week.

Forecasters give an 80% chance that the mercury will exceed the current UK record temperature of 38.7°C set in Cambridge in 2019.

Temperatures rise over the weekend before peaking on Tuesday.

The amber heat warning covers most of England and Wales from Sunday to Tuesday.

Meanwhile, red warnings on Monday and Tuesday cover the region from London to Manchester and York Valley.

High temperatures are especially dangerous for vulnerable people such as pregnant women, the elderly and the very young, but everyone is warned to pay special attention.

Meanwhile, Labor criticized Boris Johnson after he was reportedly unable to attend the Cobra meeting.

Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Labor Party, said: He’s back to his old trick of skipping important cobra meetings.

“Where are the plans to deliver critical services and how are people staying safe at work, transportation, schools, hospitals, and long-term care facilities?”

As the embarrassing Prime Minister prepares to party while Britain is simmering, the public doesn’t trust the zombie Conservative government to respond quickly and resolutely to the country’s emergencies.

“If you still can’t get the job done, you should go now.”

Daytime temperatures are expected to be 27°C in London, 26°C in Cardiff, 23°C in Belfast and 21°C in Edinburgh.

Temperatures can reach 30°C in the capital, 27°C in Cardiff, 24°C in Belfast and 23°C in Edinburgh on Sundays.

Temperatures on Tuesday will rise a few more degrees, reaching 30 degrees in most of England and Wales.

There is a 50% chance that temperatures will reach 40 degrees Celsius somewhere in the UK. Probably along the A1 corridor from London to Scotland, including Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and the North East.

The UK Department of Health and Safety has raised the health warning for heat from level 3 to level 4 to make it a “national emergency”.

The fourth level is reached: “If the heat wave is very serious and/or its effects extend beyond the health and socio-health system… At this level, not only high-risk groups can be produced, but also health ones. Sickness and death can occur. among healthy people,’ he said.

Graham Madge, a spokesman for the Met Office, said: People’s lives are at stake in the red warning zone.

“This is a very serious situation.”

Meanwhile, Brits are trying to bag-shop with their fans to keep cool in the heat.

According to Retailer Toolstation, fan sales last week were up 641% compared to the previous week as retailers struggled to remain calm.

The company also reported a 50% increase in construction shorts sales and a 35% increase in T-shirt sales.
