POLICY WIRE — Lincolnshire, UK — Authorities at Normanby Hall Country Park in Lincolnshire have issued a safety advisory urging visitors to avoid sitting under trees due to the extreme heat and diminished rainfall. The park’s staff have highlighted that the ongoing heatwave has weakened the trees, posing potential risks.

Temperatures are expected to reach 33C this week, prompting the park to take precautionary measures. “The extreme heat and lack of rainfall have significantly weakened the trees, making them unsafe for visitors to sit under,” a park official stated.

The advisory comes as the UK braces for a prolonged period of high temperatures, with meteorologists predicting the heatwave to continue through the week. Visitors are advised to seek alternative shaded areas — and stay hydrated.

This warning aligns with broader weather alerts across the UK, as authorities emphasize the importance of public safety during extreme weather conditions. The Met Office has issued heat-health alerts, urging the public to take necessary precautions.
