Good Morning Britain weather host Laura Tobin has made an alarming prediction for temperatures reaching an all time high for the UK next week, telling viewers at home there could be 'thousands of fatalities.
Meteorology expert Laura was back on screen and in front of the weather map as GMB came to an end for another week, joining lead presenters Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins and regular contributor Andi Peters in the studio, following reports that temperatures are set to soar as we head into next week.
And, while many people are delighted that more hot weather is on the cards, after a glorious few days of sunshine last week, Laura's Friday forecasts came with a rather grim warning. As Laura explained that there was the potential for areas of the UK to move from amber warning zones to red, temperatures as high as 38 degrees flashed up on the screen for London on Tuesday, with Birmingham at 37, while Newcastle considerably cooler with a predicted high of 24.
