Hotter than the Sahara. The Met Office has given the UK’s first red extreme heat warning and the UK Health Security Agency has issued a level 4 heat-health alert - both running from Monday to Wednesday.

Ross Lydall, the Evening Standard’s City Hall Editor & Health Editor, explains both the risks to our health as well as the pressures on our infrastructure.
In part two, we’re joined by Andrew Tucker from Thames Water who addresses concerns over potential water shortages.
