British Gas urges households in the UK to delay using washing machines during the current heatwave. Both outlets report that customers are being advised not to run washing machines before 5pm, with the guidance aimed at reducing electricity demand during the hottest period of the day. The Mirror says the advice applies this week, while the Daily Express specifies that the restriction continues “until Friday,” implying a time-limited request tied to the heatwave forecast. The messaging is framed around keeping homes cooler and managing peak energy usage, rather than indicating any device-specific safety issue. Households are therefore encouraged to schedule laundry later in the day and follow the company’s guidance on energy demand management during high temperatures.
