Summary
There is a 90% probability of heatwave conditions between 09:00 on 2nd July and 21:00 on 3rd July.
Today:
Mostly dry and humid during the morning with patchy cloud and sunny spells, perhaps the odd shower. Becoming mainly sunny during the afternoon, and feeling very warm, locally hot in the west, whilst less so in the east. Maximum temperature 31 °C.
Tonight:
A dry and sunny end to the day, leading to a dry and clear night with temperatures cooling off, feeling a little fresher than the previous humid night. Minimum temperature 11 °C.
Tuesday:
Dry, very warm and sunny again, with light winds and unbroken sunshine for most.
Impact
The very young, the elderly and the seriously ill are the groups who are particularly at risk of health problems when the weather is very hot. In particular, very hot weather can make heart and breathing problems worse.
