BBC Weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood predicted temperatures ranging between the high 20s and high 30s as she warned areas in the South-East like London could reach 40 degrees by Tuesday. Ms Kirkwood also warned Britons that the evenings this week will be hot and muggy with possible health implications for some as the UK contends with both a red and amber Met Office warnings. Britons have been advised to not stay in the sun for too long without the right protection, health services have also been advising people to stay hydrated and not to take unnecessary journeys.
Ms Kirkwood said: “It’s covering a large chunk of England and at the same time there’s also an amber warning enforced.
“That means impact due to the severity of the weather are highly likely.
“And that covers all of England and Wales, Southern Scotland, and parts of Eastern Scotland.
“Now this morning many of us are starting off on a dry note, also a sunny note, but there is a bit more cloud across the North and the West.

“It’s also going to be humid across Scotland and Northern Ireland today.
“But we’ve got a dry heat across England and Wales, with temperature coming up widely from the high 20s to the high 30s.
“And locally summer in the South East like London for example, could hit 40 degrees.

Ms Kirkwood said: “That will be the first time ever in the UK, we’ve reached that kind of level.

“It’s going to be a hot and a muggy night, again that has health implications.
“Temperatures for some not dipping lower than 22 or 23 degrees, so with that kind of heat to start the day it’s only going to get hotter as we go through the day.
