A red extreme heat warning has been issued by the Met Office for parts of England on Monday (July 18) and Tuesday (July 19).
Temperatures could hit 40°C, meaning a danger to life is likely, with the risk of illness not limited to vulnerable people.
Extreme weather warnings are in place for the whole of England and Wales from Monday at 12am to Tuesday at 11.59pm.
