- The UK is experiencing its third heatwave of the year, with temperatures forecast to reach 34C in the south east of England.
- A week-long yellow heat health alert from the UKHSA began on Saturday, and is set to last until Saturday 11 July at 8pm.
- The alert covers the East Midlands, east, south-east and south-west of England, including London, and the West Midlands.
- Aidan McGivern, Met Office meteorologist, said: “It’s not going to be as hot or as humid so not quite as uncomfortable, and not quite as impactful. It also will not affect the whole of UK.”
- Southern Water has issued a hosepipe pan from 12.01am on July 10 in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, while South East Water’s temporary hosepipe ban for Kent came into force on Friday.
