Parts of UK could hit 40C for the first time next week, experts say
While temperatures are expected to be in the mid-30s across England on Monday and Tuesday the southeast of England is forecast to see the hottest weather.
"That is exceptionally hot, it is the sort of temperatures that if you are on holiday you may be able to deal with but in day-to-day life it can have severe impacts on health and we are likely to see impacts on transport and power next week as well," he said. People are being urged to stay hydrated, look out for vulnerable people, keep curtains closed and stay out of the sun in the middle of the day.
The government's Cobra emergency committee held a meeting on Thursday about the exceptional heat and Cabinet Office minister Kit Malthouse said the key thing was to "prepare" government services.
