Glorious Sun: Heatwave Here To Stay

Updated: 11:13pm UK, Sunday 14 July 2013

Parts of the UK remain on heatwave alert, as the hot weather shows no sign of letting up.

Following the hottest day of the year on Saturday, Sunday was another scorcher with temperatures into the high 20s in many regions.

The hot weather is forecast to continue until at least next weekend, with the rest of the week hovering between the mid to high 20s.

Wednesday could be particularly hot, according to forecasters, when temperatures could reach 32C (89.6F).

On Sunday, the Met Office issued a level three heatwave alert for southwest England. The alert "requires social and healthcare services to target specific actions at high-risk groups".

Saturday saw the warmest day of the year so far, with the mercury hitting 31.9C (89.4F) in Southampton.

It topped the previous high of 29.9C recorded at Edenfel in County Tyrone last Monday.

The soaring temperatures have seen shoppers spend thousands of pounds on the high street and online, buying barbecues, food, sunscreen and garden furniture.

Paddling pool sales are up 816%, said online retailer Amazon, while Tesco said it was predicting a sausage surge of nine million bangers this weekend.

With many people taking to the water to cool off, emergency services have warned against swimming in lakes and quarries after three people died in the West Midlands in the last week.

"Please think twice about going into open water," said Commander George Marshall, of Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service.

"If you must take a dip please do it in the safety of a public swimming pool where there are lifeguards on duty."

Monday will see lengthy spells of sunshine for most parts, although northwest Scotland will be overcast and there could be patchy light rain.
