Mini-heatwave to hit 30C before wet summer resumes

Parts of England and Wales are set for a bout of warm weather, with conditions turning more changeable by the weekend.

While today could see highs of 27C, London and the South East will see the highest temperatures tomorrow, when the mercury could rise as high as 30C.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued several heat health alerts for the South East from early this morning. The government body has placed a yellow heat health alert to coincide with the rising temperatures for London, the East Midlands, East of England and the South East.
