Temperatures are forecast to peak over the weekend and early next week - meaning the heat is here to stay for a while longer
The UK is in the midst of a heatwave, bringing with it 'tropical' nights and daytime temperatures predicted to top 35C in some places. While the warm weather is a chance to get outside and spend more time with friends and family, spending too much time in the sun can be dangerous.
But the warning has now been widened to include Tuesday July 19. The current heatwave, which is a result of hot air flowing to the UK from the continent, could cause wide-spread disruption, including road closures and cancellations and delays to rail and air travel.The extreme heat could also be life-threatening for some. The NHS says the main risks include dehydration, overheating, heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
