Soaring temperatures in the UK pose a ‘serious health risk’, experts have warned amid fears heatwave-related injuries and illnesses will pile pressure on the already overstretched NHS.

Britain could enjoy the hottest day of the year so far today as temperatures are expected to soar to 33C (91F) after some areas entered an official heatwave for the first time since June.

But health experts fear great swathes of the population, especially the elderly and those with dementia, will be hit by heat-related sickness — increasing demand for NHS services.

NHS buildings are already ‘ill-equipped’ to deal with the mercury rising to levels normally reserved for the early summer months, with hospitals frequently experiencing overheating incidents, with some even being forced to cancel operations or shut wards when temperatures soar. 

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has upgraded its heat health alert to amber across every region of England apart from the North East, where a yellow alert is in place.

The six-day alert, which began yesterday and will run until Sunday night, warns of higher death rates and ‘significant impacts’ on vulnerable people and the NHS.

Dr Adrian Boyle, president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, told MailOnline: ‘We know that climate change is making our summers hotter, and society needs to acknowledge and be alive to the serious health risk that extreme heat presents.

‘Last summer we saw temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius and there were more than 3,000 excess deaths associated with the heat.

‘Hot weather is of particular risk to people who are frail or suffering from dementia who may be less able to respond to their body’s own warning signs.

‘People experiencing mental ill health – especially those taking anti-psychotic medication – are also disproportionately affected, similarly people experiencing homelessness who may not be able to find shelter or easy access to water.’

He added: ‘Our advice would be to ensure that people check on anyone who is older, has existing health problems or frailties.

‘Try to stay out of the heat as much as possible and keep hydrated by drinking lots of non-alcoholic fluids.’

Dr Layla McCay, director of policy at the NHS Confederation, said: ‘Extreme weather can put added pressure on the NHS in terms of demand and affect the health of some people. 

‘Extreme heat or cold can also put additional pressure on often antiquated and ill-equipped NHS buildings and estates.

‘Temperatures this summer have not yet reached extremes, but health leaders would still encourage the public to stay safe in the sun and keep hydrated during the current warm weather.’

One major concern, heat exhaustion is triggered by the body being unable to cool itself down.

It can cause dizziness, excessive sweating and lead to potentially fatal heat stroke. 

The Met Office said areas in West Yorkshire, Cornwall, Devon and Wales hit heatwave criteria yesterday, with more regions expected to be added to that list today.

While the hottest UK temperature recorded yesterday was 30.7C (87.3F) in West Sussex, forecasters said a new record is likely either today or tomorrow.

Some 13 weather stations have now marked this period as an official heatwave, which is at least three days in a row with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold — a figure which varies by region.

It has seen autumn begin in an unseasonably warm fashion after a disappointing summer when Britain endured its sixth wettest July since records began. 

A spokesperson for UKHSA also told MailOnline today: ‘We may begin to see some health impacts across the wider population, and an increase in risk to health for individuals aged over 65 years or those with pre-existing health conditions, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

‘The UKHSA Adverse Weather and Health Plan has guidance for the NHS and care home managers or those who look after vulnerable people. 

‘It outlines the key areas where the public sector, independent sector, voluntary sector, health and social care organisations and local communities can work together to maintain and improve planning and response during spells of hot weather.’

Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at UKHSA, added: ‘Many of us will welcome the hot weather over the coming days, but it is important to take sensible precautions while enjoying the sun and look out for those who are more vulnerable to the effects of heat.

‘We advise you to check on older family members, friends, or neighbours and those with heart or lung conditions.

‘Staying hydrated and keeping cool is crucial for everyone during hot weather, while enjoying the sun.’

If the hottest day of 2023 is achieved this week, it would be the first time since 2016 — and before that the 1950s — that the UK’s warmest day of the year has happened in September.

In addition, the highest temperature of the year has happened in September in just four years over the last century.

It comes as the Alzheimer’s Society also issued its own warning this morning of the effects of hot weather on people living with dementia. 

For those living with dementia and memory problems, dehydration is a ‘common challenge’, the charity said and advised families and carers could help by leaving glasses or jugs of water within easy reach.

Sharing a drink with the person, leaving reminders to drink and providing high water content foods, were among other key aids suggested. 

Jelly Drops, or ‘water sweets’ are another alternative way to help stay hydrated and help boost daily water intake. 

The colourful sweets, supported by Alzheimer’s Society, are bite-sized, sugar-free sweets containing 95 per cent water and added electrolytes.

Anna Smith, head of involvement at Alzheimer’s Society, said: ‘People should absolutely enjoy the nice weather we’re finally having, but it’s important to note that high temperatures can lead to severe health problems for people with dementia unless they take special precautions to keep cool and well-hydrated.

‘People with dementia may forget to drink enough fluids and wear suitable clothing. As the temperatures rise this week, we are urging families and carers to check in on people with dementia to make sure they are staying hydrated, wearing light clothes and keeping out of direct sun.

‘Popping round to check on a neighbour, friend or family member with dementia can help keep them safe during the hot weather.’

‘Presumed human remains’ have been found in the wreckage of the Titan submersible on Wednesday, the US Coast Guard announced.

Several identifiable parts of the ship were lifted ashore on Wednesday afternoon, including the sub’s nose and a large panel which appears to be from its tail end.

Amid those recovered pieces, Coast Guard officials said they discovered human remains, which will now be transported aboard a ship to a port in the United States where they will undergo testing and analysis.

The discoveries surprised experts who suspected Titan was destroyed when it suffered a ‘catastrophic implosion‘ with five people on board during a journey to the wreckage of the Titanic.

In fact, earlier on Wednesday a coroner told DailyMail.com she believed the remains of those onboard — including British billionaire Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood — would likely never be recovered.

Officials said Wednesday the remains were ‘carefully removed within the wreckage’ that was recovered earlier in the day.

‘I am grateful for the coordinated international and interagency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths,’ Marine Board of Investigation Capt. Jason Neubauer said in a statement.

‘The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy,’ he added.

But, Neubauer noted there is a ‘substantial amount of work’ still to be done to understand what happened to the Titan sub and to ‘help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again.’

The MBI will continue its evidence collection and witness interviews to inform a public hearing about the incident, and Pelagic Research Services — whose remote operating vehicle discovered the debris fields — said its team is ‘still on mission’.

‘They have been working around the clock now for 10 days, through the physical and mental challenges of this operation, and are anxious to finish the mission and return to their loved ones,’ the company said in a statement. 

On Wednesday, a debris field was found on the seafloor, 1,600 feet (500 meters) from the bow of the Titanic, which sits more than two miles (nearly four kilometers) below the ocean’s surface and 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The Canadian-flagged Polar Prince cargo vessel towed the Titan out to sea last weekend but lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes after the submersible launched into the ocean depths.

News of the missing ship spurred a multinational search-and-rescue operation, which ended when officials announced the sub likely imploded, killing all those onboard instantly.

As a result, Richland County Coroner Naida Rutherford told DailyMail.com it was unlikely human remains would ever be recovered in the search.

She said: ‘When you have any sort of explosion or implosion, there are remains or traces of remains.

‘There is a possibility but given the environment that this happened in it is highly unlikely that they will find remains.

‘Even on land you have animal activity, and in an expansive ocean, so many animals and creatures, and the pressure down there.

‘I think it is unlikely to find remains, certainly in whole parts. It would be very difficult to ID the remains given the conditions in which the implosion happened – and it will be difficult to ascertain who they belonged to.

‘Their bodies would have sustained extensive thermal damage and blunt force trauma from the implosion. Those are things we know as fact.’

For years prior to the implosion, experts had warned that Stockton Rush’s self-designed submersible was not capable of safely reaching the Titanic wreckage on the ocean floor.  

They said its carbon fiber hull, which housed the five crew, was its ‘Achilles heel’ because the material is not considered suitable for dives at the depths reached by the vessel. 

Titanic director James Cameron, a renowned deep sea explorer and submersibles expert, said previously that the hull was likely broken into ‘very small pieces’ in the incident.

‘If I had to put money down on what the finding [of the investigation] will be, the Achilles heel of the sub was the composite cylinder that was the main hull that the people were inside,’ he said.

‘There were two titanium end caps on each end. They are relatively intact on the sea floor. But that carbon fiber composite cylinder is now just in very small pieces. It’s all rammed into one of the hemispheres. It’s pretty clear that’s what failed.’

Carbon fiber is prone to delamination, the process whereby a material fractures into layers while put under pressure.

It is thought the craft’s titanium components better withstood the disaster, while the weaker carbon fiber parts – including the hull – are more likely to have been crushed into tiny pieces.

The parts lifted from the ocean appear to align with Cameron’s observations, including that the larger piece was the vessel’s titanium shell. Investigators will now work to confirm what each piece is.

But, despite these incessant warnings from naval experts, OceanGate had assured the public for year that its Titan submersible was safe. 

The company had boasted in promotional material about Titan’s ‘Real Time Hull Health Monitoring’, which constantly checked the integrity of the vessel throughout the dive.

The system used acoustic sensors and strain gauges to ‘analyze the effects of changing pressure on the vessel as the submersible dives deeper, and accurately assess the integrity of the structure’.

But legal filings reveal a former director of marine operations ‘expressed concern that this was problematic because this type of acoustic analysis would only show when a component is about to fail—often milliseconds before an implosion—and would not detect any existing flaws prior to putting pressure onto the hull.’

More whistleblowers in the Pentagon have come forward with ‘first-hand knowledge’ of secret UFO crash retrieval programs, US Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has revealed.

Former National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) officer David Grusch made worldwide news earlier this month when he spoke out publicly for the first time about his own investigation into the top secret programs as part of a Pentagon UFO taskforce.

But now the Republican Florida Senator Rubio has added that other officials with ‘very high clearances’ who have occupied ‘high positions within our government’ have briefed the Senate Intelligence committee on their direct knowledge of top secret UFO crash retrieval programs.

Sen. Rubio said that some of these witnesses who provided their ‘first-hand knowledge or first-hand claims’ were likely some of the same individuals referenced by Grusch in his explosive public comments and formal complaint to the US Intelligence Community Inspector General.

Grusch, an Air Force veteran who went on to posts at both the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the NRO, told the inspector general that he had faced illegal retaliation for his inquiries into these same highly classified UFO programs.

For their part, the inspector general described Grusch’s complaint as ‘credible and urgent’ in July 2022 — forwarding the filing to the US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and Rubio’s own Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, among others.

Sen. Rubio emphasized that there has been similar credible threats to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s other unnamed witnesses, their livelihoods and their lives. 

‘I’m not trying to be evasive,’ Sen. Rubio said, ‘but I am trying to be protective of these people.’

‘A lot of these people came to us even before these protections were in the law for whistleblowers to come forward,’ Rubio told NewsNation Monday. 

‘Some of these people still work in the government, and frankly a lot of them are very fearful,’ the Florida Republican notes, ‘fearful of their jobs, fearful of their clearances, fearful of their career, and some frankly are fearful of harm coming to them.’ 

Rubio’s comments speak to the urgency of the recent whistleblower protections enacted as part of a bipartisan amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act last year.

But the senator’s comments also add context to the recent moves by the Senate Intelligence Committee where Rubio is vice chairman.   

Last week, the committee adopted a unanimous provision requiring an immediate halt to all funding for secret US government or defense contractor programs to retrieve or reverse-engineer unidentified craft of ‘non-earth’ or ‘exotic’ origin.

Despite the boldness of these legislative moves, Rubio was more circumspect about the full accuracy of these high-level whistleblowers’ claims.

‘I don’t find them either not credible or credible,’ Sen. Rubio told NewsNation Washington correspondent Joe Khalil. ‘Understand some of these claims are things that are beyond the realm what any of us has ever dealt with.’

In Rubio’s assessment, the sheer number and stature of the first-hand witnesses who have briefed the intelligence committee is — by itself — a cause for concern and worthy of more attention.

‘Most of these people at some point, or maybe even currently, have held very high clearances, and high positions within our government,’ Rubio noted. 

‘So, you do ask yourself, ‘What incentive would so many people, with that kind of qualification, have to come forward and make something up?”

‘These are serious people,’ Rubio said. 

Given the stature of these sources and the volatility of their claims, the senator called for ‘a mature understanding’ from his fellow legislators, policymakers, and the general public — saying that he sees a duty to ‘intake the information without any prejudgment or jumping to any conclusions in one direction or another.’    

‘We’re trying to gather as much of that information as we can,’ Rubio said.

Check your heating is turned off and make sure your none of your lights run in the daytime.

They are just two ways to avoid falling victim to the heat this summer, according to the Government’s top health experts.  

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) chiefs today issued a 13-step checklist on how to gear your home up for the sunny weather.

Hot homes can worsen existing health conditions and be fatal, the quango warned. Risks are especially high for the elderly, the severely ill and kids. 

But critics today mocked the UKHSA’s tips, calling them ‘indispensable’ and joking: ‘I wish I’d seen this advice earlier.’  

Split into two sections, the advice covers how to prepare your home for hot weather and what to do once the Caribbean-esque temperatures have already hit.  

Under ‘things you can do to prepare your home for hot weather’, the UKHSA advises ensuring your ventilation system — if you have one — is operating in summer mode, and checking that your fridge or freezer works. 

Other recommendations include installing internal blinds or curtains, growing plants outside to provide shade and storing medication appropriately. 

Meanwhile, UKHSA advice for what to do ‘in your home during hot weather’ includes checking ‘your heating is switched off’. 

Turning off the lights and electrics not in use will also ‘reduce heat generated in the home’, it said. 

Cooking at cooler times during the day and moving to a cooler part of the house — especially when trying to sleep — is also advised.  

Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs think-tank, told MailOnline: ‘The government’s advice to turn off the heating and open some windows when the weather is hot could be a game-changer for me and millions of others this summer.

‘Other tips, such as checking your fridge works by seeing whether the food is cold, are also indispensable.’ 

He added: ‘I only wish I’d seen this advice earlier.

‘My usual practice on hot days is to put on a thick jumper and eat lots of salty snacks, but this year — if summer ever arrives — I’m going to try it the UKHSA way.’ 

The tips are designed to reduce the risk of a home overheating.  

Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at the UKHSA, said: ‘Our analysis shows that in the summer of 2022, there were an estimated 2,803 excess deaths for those aged 65 and over due to extreme heat.

‘Evidence shows that hot weather increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, lung illnesses and other diseases, particularly amongst the most vulnerable. 

‘Evidence also shows some settings are at risk of overheating. 

‘It’s therefore our responsibility to publish advice on how to prevent these illnesses and excess deaths in order to reduce unnecessary pressure on health services.’

During spells of high temperatures, health officials urge people to stay indoors with curtains closed and to avoid caffeine and alcohol and physical exertion in the hottest parts of the day. 

The UK faced record breaking heatwaves last summer as the mercury surpassed 40C (104F) for the first time ever. 

At the time, health chiefs warned the UK must adapt to living safely with even hotter summers inevitable in the future as a result of climate change. 

It also saw Britain’s deadliest ever summer, with 2,800 extra fatalities logged over the five heatwave periods. 

Hot weather can cause dehydration, which causes blood to thicken. 

It also lowers blood pressure, making it harder to push blood around the body. 

This can lead to blood clots and strokes.

Overheating could make symptoms worse for anyone battling heart and breathing problems.
