The Cabinet Office works closely with experts in the Met Office and UKHSA to continually assess the forecast and review heat health alerts.

Ahead of periods of forecast extreme temperatures, the Cabinet Office convenes the cross-government Severe Weather Resilience Network to review readiness for the heatwave across the various sectors and ensure public messaging is in place to help keep people safe.
