Photo of the Portico during the staff summer event - With temperatures forecast to rise to the 30s this week, we advise students and staff to take additional steps to stay safe. High temperatures of up to 30 degrees or more are forecast in London this week, with an amber warning for high heat issued by the Government. The alert will be in place from midday Tuesday 9 August to 6pm on Saturday 13 August for all regions of England. During the hot summer conditions, the following measures to increase comfort should be adopted by individuals and departments:  It may be obvious, but drinking plenty of water is often overlooked. It is recommended to drink between 1.5 and two litres per day. Take a bottle of water with you everywhere you go. There are water bottle refill stations around campus - find them using  this map.
