Londoners enjoying the sunshine at Southwark Park this morningThe week will get hotter as it goes on, with highs of around 34C predicted on ThursdayThe Met Office issued the level-two warning which says there is a 80 per cent probability of heat-health criteria being met between 9am on Wednesday and 9pm on Friday.
It is working with Public Health England to help healthcare services prepare for periods of “extreme temperature”. Temperatures will be highest in England's South, the South East, the Midlands and parts of the North. The hottest day of the year so far was 28.9 degrees reached last month, and Mr Miall explained: "It's likely tomorrow will beat that in the South, do it again on Wednesday and then again on Thursday.
