The National Weather Agency added that the temperature are likely to even rise higher on Monday with a possiblity of 33C in some areas. A Yellow Heat-Health Alert has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which means temperatures could lead to impacts on the health and wellbeing of some people. The alert covers the East Midlands, East of England, London and the southeast of England from Wednesday June 17 and remains in place until Monday.

Deputy Chief Forecaster, Gregory Wolverson, said: “This week’s weather reflects a contrast we often see in summer, with more unsettled conditions passing to the northwest of the UK while heat builds in the south and east.

"As we move towards the weekend, we’ll see conditions become more widely settled and temperatures rise all round. Many parts of southern and eastern England are likely to see temperatures high enough to meet heatwave thresholds.

“It’s important to note that while temperatures may be high, we might not all see the wall-to-wall sunshine and blue skies we experienced back in May because there is more cloud around.

"There is also a chance of thunderstorms developing in places, particularly later each day, which could bring heavy showers and localised impacts.”
