The Met Office last night upgraded a heat health alert for some areas from Level 2 to the more serious Level 3, warning of potentially “dangerous” conditions for the elderly and vulnerable.

A spokesman said: “Heatwaves can be dangerous, especially for the very young, very old or those with chronic diseases.”

The warning, issued with the Department of Health, applies to the East Midlands and the Yorkshire and Humber region.

Official figures suggest around 500 people could die this weekend alone.

whurules....apparently some cruel idiotic people still leave dogs in cars. In a supermarket car park in my area...the police were trying to find the owner of a dog left (with a few inches of window open!) in the car on Saturday.... I can only hope the owner came back or the police broke into to release the poor dog. Why are people so bloody stupid!
