The council, with the support of the NHS, plan for extremes of temperature. Extremes in both hot and cold temperatures can affect people’s health and wellbeing.
The Met Office in association with the Department of Health operates a cold weather health watch system from 1 of November to the 31 March and a heat health watch system from 1 June to 15 September each year.
