UK weather forecast today — Met Office says Brits could see temperatures rise further THIS weekend as mercury hits 32C

BRITS could see temperatures rise even further this week with the warm weather likely to peak on Saturday as mercury hits 33C in London, the Met Office reports.

The UK Health Security Agency has issued an Amber heat health alert as temperatures rise across the country, with the Met Office predicting temperatures of more than 30C this week.

The amber heat alert – which covers the whole of England apart from the North East – is in place between 2pm on Monday (September 4) and 9pm on September 10.

And now the hot weather is predicted to peak on Saturday as temperatures hit a possible 33C in London.

This unusual September sunshine is being driven by tropical storms pushing a high pressure system over the UK.
