The Met Office issues an extreme amber heat warning for the UK lasting until Thursday, June 25. Several reports say temperatures are expected to reach up to around 38C in parts of the country during the period covered by the warning. All three outlets focus on whether schools will be required to close in response to the hot weather. They explain that decisions about opening or closing schools are not automatic and depend on local circumstances, including official guidance, safety considerations, and operational factors. While the forecast for very high temperatures—particularly around 38C—is presented as the key trigger for concern, the articles emphasize that school closure rules are governed by heatwave guidance rather than a single nationwide threshold. One outlet also specifically considers impacts for Manchester-area schools, reflecting that weather conditions and preparations can vary by location. Overall, the coverage centers on the expected heatwave conditions and the extent to which they may affect whether schools operate as normal.
