When and how much water should you give your lawn in the summer months? The Met Office are predicting a heat wave this week - I think it has already arrived with temperature for London set to reach 31 degrees centigrade today and a steamy 16 degrees tonight.
We are now on a Level 2 - a Yellow heat wave alert and state of readiness. This level is triggered as soon as the risk is 60% or above for threshold temperatures being reached in one or more regions on at least two consecutive days and the intervening night. This is an important stage for social and healthcare services who will be working to ensure readiness and swift action to reduce harm from a potential heat wave. The Met Office advice is that heat waves can be dangerous, especially for the very young, very old or those with chronic diseases.
