UK swelters under a dangerous heatwave with temperatures soaring to 28°C in the South and South East, prompting yellow health alerts. Experts warn common meds like ibuprofen and proton pump inhibitors may impair your body’s ability to cope with heat and increase sun sensitivity. Fire risk is at “exceptional” levels across east and southeast England, while forecasts predict even hotter days ahead—with East Anglia possibly hitting 36°C. Over 2,800 excess deaths have already been linked to this year’s heatwaves, fueling droughts and wildfires. Climate groups are urging immediate national action, calling it a wake-up call for urgent climate policy.
