- NADA FARHOUD

JUMP for joy... July is ending on a high, with temperatures hitting a hot, hot, hot 30C in some areas.

There could be a heatwave declared for some places, with 32C forecast for the South-East today after a 29C high, set in Northolt, Gtr London, yesterday.

Monday was a sunny day in the south, with beaches and pools from Newquay to the Peak District packed.

In Essex, the weather brought the sunflowers into bloom at Pooty Pools Farm near Chelmsford, creating a spectacular display for visitors.

Yellow heat health warnings have been issued for England, excluding the North-West and North-East, by the UK Health Security Agency and are in place until tomorrow.

It said hot weather could have "significant impacts" on the health and social care sectors across the SouthEast, with minor impact elsewhere.
