“A heat health warning has also been issued – heat warning level 3 for the East of England and the South East – in effect from 9am tomorrow.” Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at UKHSA, said: “We want everyone to enjoy the warm weather when it arrives, but also to check on their vulnerable family, friends and neighbors to make sure they are prepared for the warm conditions coming’. He advised people to take simple precautions to protect themselves from the heat, such as “covering windows exposed to direct sunlight” and making sure “refrigerators, freezers and fans are working properly”. It comes amid warnings that people should avoid washing their cars in the hot weather to prevent taps from running dry. Anglian Water, a water company operating in the east of England, is asking people to be aware of how much water they use during the heatwave. Its website advises people to “enjoy washing the car”, adding that “a dusty car means you’re doing your bit for the environment”.

Starting at 9 a.m. on Monday, a level three health warning from the UK Health Safety Authority (UKHSA) will be in place for the south-east. A Met Office spokesman told The Telegraph: “We will have temperatures in the 30s on Monday and Tuesday next week, then we are likely to see temperatures drop into the 20s due to increased cloud cover. “For next weekend, they will pick up again and we are looking at temperatures in excess of 32C. There is a core band starting in Hampshire and sweeping north into London and East Anglia, where temperatures could exceed 35C.
