An amber health warning has been extended by 24 hours for several regions in England as temperatures are expected to soar to 35C (95F) on Tuesday, on what could be the hottest May day since records began.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said amber alerts for the south-west, south-east, London, East and West Midlands and the west of England would remain in place until 5pm on Thursday, along with yellow alerts for the north-west and north-east.
