As temperatures soar, health warnings have been issued. The public has been advised to stay hydrated, wear appropriate clothing and suncream, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. The elderly and vulnerable have been advised to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day.
Transport Concerns
