Temperatures in Preston are expected to reach 30 degrees on Thursday and overnight temperatures are remaining in the high teens into the weekend. Dr Peter Gregory, associate medical director for NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB, said: “A lot of people will have been disappointed with the lack of sunny days this summer, so they will be keen to make the most of this warmer weather while they can.
“People must avoid leaving children or vulnerable people exposed to high temperatures or strong sunlight for prolonged periods of time, whether that is outside or inside a car – and be mindful that shaded areas often disappear as the day progresses.”The heatwave is due to subside from the weekend.
