This is the first time the Met Office has issued a level three alert since June 2006. It occurs when temperatures reach a certain threshold and are sustained in one or more regions over two nights and the intervening day.
What has triggered the current alert is the fact that night-time temperatures have not fallen below 18degC.
There is likely to be a dip in the temperature on Friday and Saturday is still looking much cooler but Thursday (July 2) is set to be another scorcher.
For comprehensive coverage of all the stories making the local news, read Friday's edition of the West Sussex County Times newspaper.
