London is actively preparing for the possibility of future extreme heatwaves reaching temperatures of 40C, following a record-setting 40.2 Celsius in July 2022. An extensive emergency planning exercise involving emergency, health, and transport services, as well as local government, is being conducted to simulate the city's response to a five-day period of extreme heat. This initiative highlights the increasing concern over climate-induced extreme weather conditions and aims to enhance the city's resilience and preparedness for similar events in the future. The London Fire Brigade, recalling its busiest day since the Second World War during the last heatwave, is a key participant in these preparations.
