Heat health alert issued for Doncaster as new heatwave set to roll in

A yellow heat health alert has been issued for Doncaster as another heatwave rolls in.

From 9am on Saturday 8 August, Doncaster is under another yellow Heat Health Alert for hot weather.

A City of Doncaster Council spokesperson said: “This summer, with prolonged periods of hot weather, it's important to think about keeping homes cool for your family and friends who might be more affected by heat.

“Hot weather can make homes uncomfortable and, for some people, put health at risk.

“Overheating indoors can worsen existing health conditions, increase tiredness and dizziness, and make everyday activities harder.

“Our Healthy Homes: Preparing Your Home for Summer Checklist shares simple, practical steps to help keep homes cooler, safer, and more comfortable during warmer weather.

“From managing sunlight and ventilation to small changes that reduce heat indoors, a little preparation can make a big difference.”
