The Met Office has extended its rare extreme heat amber weather warning, set to come into force for most of England and Wales. The alert had been put in place for Sunday, July 17 and will now also run through the whole of Monday with the possibility it may be extended into Tuesday.
The Met Office warns of 'population-wide adverse health effects' which they say will not be limited to the most vulnerable. The warning says there could be 'potential serious illness or danger to life'.
The warning reads: "Government advice is that 999 services should be used in emergencies only; seek advice from 111 if you need non-emergency health advice."
