UK weather: amber warning for extreme heat extended into next week

Met Office predicts heatwave will continue into next Monday with temperatures in mid to high 30s

The Met Office has extended an extreme heat warning for Sunday and Monday, with temperatures forecast to build to over 35C (95F) in south-east England, as an under-pressure hospital declared a major incident.

The amber warning comes as extremely high temperatures in Spain and France are expected to push north into the UK this week. Temperatures reached 43C in central Spain on Monday and are forecast to rise further.
