Cancer Research UK issues a sun-safety warning for the bank holiday as a heatwave is expected, after new data shows melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK reach a record high. Several outlets report that the charity is urging people to enjoy warmer weather safely by covering up, using sunscreen and taking other precautions to reduce harmful sun exposure. The Mirror and The Independent link the warning to forecast temperatures that could rise into the low-to-mid 30s Celsius. The Evening Standard cites Cancer Research UK figures for 2022, saying there are 20,980 new cases of melanoma—the highest number recorded. The reports present the increase in diagnoses alongside the heatwave forecast, framing the message as prevention-focused rather than describing any immediate changes to treatment or healthcare services. Overall, the sources agree that melanoma rates are at an all-time high based on the charity’s data and that, during peak summer conditions, public guidance is aimed at lowering the risk of skin damage and future skin cancer.
