The UK is bracing for another heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach 36C in some parts of England and Wales this week.
An amber warning for extreme heat has been issued by the Met Office and comes into force from Thursday (August 11) until Sunday (August 14). There is also a heat health alert in place from the UK Health Security Agency, with experts advising people to look out for those who are older or with existing health conditions, as well as young children.
It comes as months of low rainfall and hot spells have left parts of the UK facing drought, prompting hosepipe bans and warnings on the impact on agriculture, rivers and wildlife. Temperatures are expected to peak at 30C in Greater Manchester on Thursday (August 11) and are forecast to hit highs of 29C for the rest of the week.
