While some people will be enjoying the warmer temperatures, the UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat health warnings for all areas of England, except the North East and North West, until Friday.
It warned that expected hot weather may have “significant impacts” on the health and social care sector across the South East and London, with minor effects elsewhere.
