British weather office issues 'Amber' warning for more extreme heat
Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Britain's Met Office on Tuesday issued an Amber extreme heat warning for many regions of the country later this week, when temperatures are forecast to get near triple digits.
The warning covers much of the southern half of England as well as parts of eastern Wales from Thursday through Sunday. Weather officials caution that the heat could impact health, transportation and infrastructure.
"The heat will build through the week, peaking on Friday and Saturday thanks to the influence of high pressure," the Met Office said in a statement
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said persistent high pressure over Britain will elevate temperatures beyond unhealthy levels.
