Heatwave: 30C Temperatures Into Next Week

Britain will continue to bake in temperatures of 30C (86C) right through into next week, forecasters say.

Six days of 30C-plus temperatures have already been recorded, the longest heatwave for seven years.

And this is expected to continue over the weekend and into the early part of next week.

Sky News weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "Western areas will still remain very warm into the weekend, in fact it will feel hot for some with temperatures possibly reaching up to 30C locally.

"There will be a brief respite from the heat in the east with cloudier skies during the mornings and perhaps the cloud lingering into the afternoon.

"But into the start of next week there will be plenty of sunshine across the UK and Ireland and feeling hot again, especially across southern counties where we could see temperatures up to 31C, perhaps a little higher locally."

She warned that the heat and humidity are likely to trigger some thunderstorms in the west.

The prolonged hot spell has prompted the Met Office to issue level three heatwave health warnings for northwest and southwest England, and the West Midlands after a similar alert for London and the South East on Wednesday.

Level three warnings are only one notch below the most serious alerts and are put out when high temperatures place the very young, the very old and those with chronic diseases at risk.

Ambulance call outs have increased by 30% as Britain's heatwave continues and The Met Office has already warned of an increased wildfire risk due to the dry, hot conditions.

The warning echoes that issued by firefighters in London, who have dealt with twice as many grass fires this summer than in 2012.

Meanwhile, the death toll from swimming accidents  during the heatwave has reached 13, as people look to lakes and the sea to cool off in the sweltering sun.

There have also been reports of people arriving at hospitals with extreme sunburn, including a four-week-old baby.
