An amber alert is in place for East Midlands, south-east, south-west, east and London.
The mercury is tipped to surge to around 30°C this weekend amid Glastonbury Festival, and it is forecast to peak at between 33C and 35°C on Monday when Wimbledon starts – making it the hottest day of the year so far.
The feels like temperature refers to how hot our bodies feel compared to the environment.
It also takes into consideration how heat is lost from the human body during cold and windy days.

How is the feels like temperature worked out?
It is calculated based on various elements and meteorological data such as wind speed, relative humidity, dew point, and air temperature.
The feels like forecast also takes into account factors such as high humidity, which can make the weather feel much hotter than its air temperature.
Another common weather term is the heat index, which means the same as feels like temperature.
Wind chill differs from feels like temperature because it is only a specific calculation of how cold the air feels on exposed skin due to the cooling effect of wind.
In the UK, wind chill is worked out by the Joint Action Group for Temp Indices.
A formula measure ‘feels like’ temperature using the air temperature.
When there are average temperatures, a combination of wind chill and heat index calculations are used to adjust the formula.
How to stay cool in hot weather
You can stop getting dehydrated by drinking a glass of water soon after waking and continue to drink it throughout the day, according to Boots superintendent pharmacist Claire Nevinson said.
Adults can also keep their skin protected in a heatwave by using a product with sun protection factor of 30 and above, while children should use one that is rated 50, Nevinson added.
Professor Tijion Esho, a doctor and wellness expert who founded the aesthetics clinic Cultskin, said that freezing your pillowcase for 10 minutes before going to bed will cool your body down.
