The Met Office has issued an expanded extreme heat warning for the UK, predicting record-breaking temperatures up to 38C this week. Health alerts are in place due to high humidity and heat stress risks for vulnerable populations. The forecast suggests potential to break the previous June record of 35.6C set in 1976 in Southampton and Camden Square, London, in June 1957.
