It is in effect from Monday through Friday early in the morning and includes the eastern, southern, and London areas of England, as per the BBC.
The four-level heat-health warning scale was created to aid healthcare professionals in coping with periods of high heat.
When there is a 60% chance that temperature criteria will be achieved in one or more locations on at least two successive days and the night in between, Level 2, also known as alert and preparedness, is activated.
In contrast to other regions, the northwest of England is predicted to have cloud cover and mild rain over the weekend and into the following week.
Temperatures are expected to increase this weekend and continue through at least the first half of next week, according to the BBC Weather presenter Nick Miller.
Because of human-induced climate change, heat waves are occurring more frequently and with greater intensity.
Since the start of the industrial period, the world has already warmed by around 1.2C, and temperatures will continue to rise unless governments drastically reduce emissions.
A hot summer in 2020 caused 2,500 more fatalities in England, and the British Red Cross forecasts that the number of heat-related deaths in the UK might triple in 30 years.
Expecting dry and warm temperatures in the weekend
Most places are forecasted to remain dry and warm throughout the weekend and into the first part of next week.
Meanwhile, there may be some cloud cover and light showers in the North West, as per Sky News.
Region-specific criteria must be fulfilled for three days in a row in order for the Met Office to declare a heatwave.
People have been alerted about the hazards of extremely high temperatures by the Red Cross.
They're all anticipating some nice weather this summer, but it's crucial to keep in mind that heat can be quite harmful, especially for kids, the elderly, and those with underlying medical concerns.
When visiting beaches amid the heatwave, the RNLI advised people to exercise caution.
It is wonderful to hear that the sun is on its way, but experts want to encourage everyone to keep careful near the seaside, according to Sam Hughes, a national water safety associate at the organization.
If you're heading to the beach, it is strongly advised to go swimming between the red and yellow flags at a lifeguarded beach.
The weather forecasting website WX Charts predicted that this summer will have a lot of pleasant days and weather.
Around July 12, temperatures in London and the south are expected to reach up to 30 °C, while Scotland and the north will have highs of 25 °C.
This is comparable to 2021 when some July days reached highs of plus 30C and provided plenty of sunny days to enjoy.
Prior to that, on Sunday, July 10, temperatures will reach their highest point in London, where they will be around 28C.
When a record-breaking 38.7C temperature struck the area in 2019, it was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the UK.
Thirty years prior, in August 1990, Hawarden Bridge hit Wales' record temperature by 35.2C.
