UK’s hottest day of the year so far as temperatures hit 31.9C
After a pretty cool start to July where temperatures have been around 2C below average, many of us have welcomed some summer-type warmth.
Many places haven’t reached 25C since the short burst of warm weather at the end of June.
Heat health alerts are in force across the Midlands, eastern and southern England until 11am on Saturday.
These alerts are primarily for the health and social care services, warning that heat could impact the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.
