An extreme heat warning has been issued to Take That fans attending their shows in London this week. Temperatures could soar to 40C in parts of the UK today amid a Met Office rare red ‘extreme heat’ warning.
It comes as a “heat-dome” settling over western Europe has brought extreme conditions across the continent. Across the UK, it will bring a combination of extreme heat and humidity that could impact public health, infrastructure, power and water supplies, the Met Office said.
Fresh from their Manchester residency, this week will see Take That head to the capital as they bring The Circus Live Tour to London Stadium. They will play the venue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (June 25, 26 and 27) before heading back to The Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, July 1.
