Warnings as 'Europe's very hot air pushes our way'
Temperatures could soar to 35C (95F) as "very hot air from Europe pushes our
way," an expert has said.
BBC weather presenter Sara Thornton said the mercury could hit 32C (89.6F) on
Monday, before staying in the high 20s or low 30s throughout the week.
She added that the area is likely to be officially in a heatwave by Wednesday, and
that it could last until the end of June, with temperatures potentially peaking at
35C (95F).
As temperatures rise, warnings have been issued about a risk of fires and the
dangers of open water swimming. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has
also issued an amber heat-health alert for the south-west of England from 12:00
BST on Thursday until 20:00 on Tuesday.
