More sweltering heat is forecast for southern and eastern areas of England on Tuesday after highs of more than 33°C closed out June.
It warns that there could be a rise in deaths, particularly among those ages 65 and over or with health conditions, due to the high temperatures.
Alex Burkill, meteorologist at the Met Office, said a high of 36°C “isn’t out of the question”.
“There will be a bit of cloud here and there – you can’t even rule out one or two showers developing – but actually, across parts of the far South East, barely a cloud in the sky,” he said.
“Towards the South East many places high 20s [or] low 30s, but there’s potential that we could be looking at around 34, 35, maybe even 36°C [on Tuesday].”
