Warning to Brits as first 30 degree heatwave set to hit the UK next week

The UK is set to enjoy a highly anticipated heatwave next week, but this could impact some of the population's health

Dust off your flip flops and find that factor 50, as the UK is set to enjoy a scorching heatwave next week.

We're all long overdue a few days sat soaking up an uninterrupted dose of vitamin D with an endless supply of ice lollies while complaining that it might actually be too hot.

Ah, the Great British summer time.

The Met Office reckon it's going to be quite the scorcher, with meteorologists predicting that we will enjoy highs of up to 30°C in some parts of the country.

A chief forecaster at the UK's national weather service, Neil Armstrong, explained that the mercury will shoot up throughout the course of the week.

He said: "After a brief, less settled, interlude on Friday and Saturday, fine conditions will return by Sunday and into next week.

"For much of the UK this will be accompanied by a boost in temperatures with many places reaching the mid 20°Cs by the middle of next week.

"Some central and southern areas are likely to see temperatures approaching the values needed for heatwave conditions.

"Heatwave conditions need to remain in situ for three consecutive days, and by the middle of next week it is possible that some parts of the UK could be reaching heatwave thresholds.

"However, whether or not everyone experiences heatwave thresholds, the majority of the UK will experience the finest conditions and highest temperatures so far this year."

London will enjoy highs of 29°C by Wednesday (26 June), while surrounding areas such as Southend-on-Sea and Chelmsford will also bask in similar temperatures.

From Monday to Thursday, highs of 27°C will be expected right across England and southern Wales; the only exceptions being the North West, parts of Yorkshire, the east coast, and South West.

These spots will still enjoy some nice weather, with highs of 24°C still expected throughout the week.

Which is all well and good - but Brits have been warned by the Met Office and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) that the heatwave will also increase the risk of deaths among vulnerable people.

A yellow heat-health alert has been issued for the nation, which is in force everywhere except for the North East.

It comes into force at 8am on Monday and will remain in place in eight regions until 5pm on Thursday afternoon.

While yellow is the lowest heat health alert that can be issued - with amber and red surpassing it - it does mean the hot weather can bring some difficulties to some of the UK population.

A yellow warning is issued when there is concern that weather conditions could pose a risk to the health of those who are vulnerable, with the UKHSA saying they were expecting minor impacts across the health and social care sector.

This heat-health alert will apply to the East Midlands, West Midlands, North West, South East, South West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East of England and London.

And by the end of the week, we're set to be dealing with cooler, cloudier and wetter weather - so stay safe and make the most of the sunshine while you can.
