A heat health alert has been issued for most of England as temperatures are expected to reach 30C in some areas. The alert covers all regions except one, with concerns raised about the potential for "significant impacts" on the health and social care sector. The UKHSA warns of the potential risks associated with the soaring temperatures.

Parts of the UK are currently experiencing a "pollen bomb," causing increased discomfort for hayfever sufferers. The forecast indicates that a heatwave could hit the country next week, bringing potentially high temperatures. This news may be welcomed by some, but for those with hayfever, it could mean even more challenges as they navigate through the peak pollen season.
