Highs of up to 31C have been forecast for this week as temperatures across the UK continue to rise.
A yellow heat health alert has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and Met Office for most of England, with all but the North East included in the warning.
Liam Eslick, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said Monday will see mostly dry weather with “plenty of sunny spells” and a maximum temperature of 28C.
On Tuesday, conditions are expected to become cloudy and murky in western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some showers will be seen across northern England which could turn thundery, but the rest of the country will see “more sunshine” and temperatures up in the mid to high 20s.
However, Thursday is likely to see a breakdown in the weather with clouds and outbreaks of rain forecast across the country. The meteorologist said there is even the possibility of an “odd thunderstorm for some”.
Temperatures on Thursday are expected to remain “widely warm” with some areas seeing highs of up to 31C.
This is likely to be around 18C or 19C.
