Britain to bake in highs of 32C today – but thunderstorms could hit in the evening
BRITS will bake in highs of 32C today as an African heatwave with sweltering humidity sweeps the UK on the first week of school holidays.
The mercury is forecast to reach 32C in London today and is set to rise steadily until peaking at a steamy 37C on Thursday, with added humidity meaning it will seem even hotter. On Wednesday, the warmest areas of southern Britain could reach 36C - and it could get even hotter still, raising fears of health problems for the elderly.The hot weather can be traced back to the north from a plume of Saharan air which is already hitting parts of southern Europe causing dangerously hot weather.
While most will be enjoying the good weather on the first day of the school holidays, England's most senior nurse has issued common sense advice.
