The temperatures are really expected to sour high this week in Britain. The weather forecasters are predicting unprecedented heat wave with temperatures reaching above 33 C and parents have been warned to keep children indoors. Meanwhile even elder people have been issued advice about tackling the heat wave and emergency hospital services have been put on alert and standby. The heat is expected to last till Saturday.

It is not just the heat but the added humidity due to winds and thunderstorms is the also worrying factor. The discomfort levels are going to be high and The Health Protection Agency has begun monitoring heat related illnesses among the people.

This could be one of the worse heat waves ever since 2006. But the warning will surely be helpful in preventing instances of sunstroke among young and old. People have been advised to stay indoors during the hottest time of the day.

Heat wave conditions are prevalent in other parts of the globe too. But government agencies and forecasters elsewhere never show such preparedness to tackle the soaring temperatures.
