Summary
Monday and Tuesday face an amber Extreme Heat warning across parts of southern and eastern England and south Wales, with temperatures forecast to reach 35C.
Nights staying above 20C in some areas are expected to intensify the heatwave, raising risks of sunburn, heat exhaustion and wider impacts on the general population.
Travel disruption and delays are also likely under the Met Office alert, which broadens concern beyond health settings alone.
Separate UKHSA amber and yellow Heat Health Alerts already cover southern and eastern England until Tuesday, warning of strain on health and social care services and a likely rise in deaths among elderly and vulnerable people.
