Yellow cold health alert issued for the East of England

The Met Office and UK Health Security Agency have issued a yellow cold weather warning for the East of England, in effect from 09:00 on 01/01/2025 until 09:00 on 04/01/2025

Cold weather can have serious health implications, particularly for older people and those with heart or lung conditions. 

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, it’s important to heat your home to a comfortable temperature. Aim to keep the rooms you use most – such as your living room and bedroom – at or above 18°C if possible. Remember to keep bedroom windows closed at night to retain warmth.
