What to expect: 


* *Delays on roads and road closures, along with delays and cancellations to rail and air travel*
* Population-wide adverse health effects experienced
* High risk of failure of heat-sensitive systems and equipment, potential localised loss of power and essential services, such as water & mobile phone services

*

*Take water with you*, if you are travelling. 


*

Check the latest forecast and warnings – find these on TV, radio, app [ [link removed] ] or website [ [link removed] ]. 

Rail services??

*East Midlands Railway: *Extreme heat can cause the track to buckle, threating safety to trains to / from London travelling 100-125mph. To keep everyone safe, a lower speed limit will be in place with fewer services running meaning journeys will take significantly longer.

EMR's advice [ [link removed] ] is to only travel if necessary as fewer services will be running on Monday and Tuesday:


* One Train Per Hour to/from Sheffield (normally two)
* One Train Per Hour to/from Nottingham (normally two)

You can find out more about how extreme heat affects the railway here [ [link removed] ].
