Title: Possible temperatures in Berkshire Post by: Cookham Webmaster on July 17, 2022, 02:41:20 PM MET OFFICE ISSUES RARE RED WEATHER WARNING FOR HEAT
Temperatures are set to soar across Berkshire in the coming days. The Met Office has said there will be 'extreme heat' across many areas of the UK over the course of Sunday, July 16, Monday and Tuesday. An amber weather warning covers the entire county, including Reading, Wokingham and Newbury, between midnight on Sunday and 11.59pm on Tuesday. A more severe red warning is also in force for areas of the county including Slough and Bracknell throughout Monday and Tuesday. The 'extreme heat' warnings have seen bin collections change and railway companies urge people not to travel unless necessary. Emergency services in Berkshire also expect a surge in demand and some schools have announced they will be closed.
