Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud added: "There's a headline maximum of around 29C over the course of Sunday in London and the South East.

TOP TIPS TO STAY COOL IN THE HEAT

  • Hydrate: Drink water but avoid alcohol and teas and coffees, which act as diuretics and can cause dehydration.
  • To sleep better: Place your pillowcase or pyjamas in the freezer
  • Turn on the fan: It can help your body regulate its internal temperature
  • Dump the duvet: Thin cotton sheets will absorb sweat and are more comfortable
  • Close windows: drawing the blinds during the peak heat will keep rooms cooler.
  • Avoid sun during hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm)
  • If you do go out: Ensure you have suncream

"We should see pretty much wall-to-wall sunshine across the bulk of England and Wales and a good portion of Scotland."

It comes after a heat-health alert was issued for England, with people warned not to stay in the sun for long periods and to make sure they are covered in high-factor sun cream.
