A yellow weather warning is in place for the East Midlands as temperatures are expected to rise further. The UK Health Security Agency has issued the heat-health alert which will stay in place from 9am Friday, June 23 until 9am on Monday, June 26.
The warning comes as daytime temperatures are expected to increase from Friday, and temperatures overnight are also becoming more warm and humid. The East Midlands, Eat of England, Southeast and London are expected to be the focus of the warm temperatures.
This will spread across more regions on Saturday, but the far Northeast and northwest will see clouds and possible rain. The warning issued states: "Minor impacts are probable across the health and social care sector, including increased use of health care services by the vulnerable population; increase in risk of mortality amongst vulnerable individuals and increased potential for indoor environments to become very warm. But not expected."
Nottingham is forecast to reach highs of 24C on Friday, followed by 26C on Saturday and Sunday before dropping to 21C on Monday. During these days the weather is forecast to consist of many sunny intervals, with temperatures staying above 14C across the entire four day period.
It comes after some forecasters predicted temperatures across the country could reach up to 35C due to a Spanish plume.
