The country is in a state of national emergency.

“Extreme temperatureswhich are likely to break records, are forecast for Monday and again for Tuesday,” the weather service says on its website.

“Nights will also be exceptionally warm for the UK, particularly in urban areas. This could have far-reaching effects on people and the infrastructure it fills according to the Athens News Agency.

The thermometer has shown up to 38.7 degrees Celsius

The hottest temperature ever recorded in Britain was 38.7 degrees Celsius at Cambridge University Botanic Gardens on July 25, 2019.

Earlier this week Britain’s Health and Met Office issued alert level 3 for parts of the country, meaning health and social services must take extra measures to protect the most vulnerable.

The “red alert” level 4, is issued when a heat wave is so strong and/or prolonged that its effects do not only affect the health and social protection system. At this level even healthy people – and not only those belonging to high-risk groups – may become ill or even die.
