The latest Met Office forecast has revealed when 30C heat will hit Coventry and Warwickshire
It shows that by 3pm tomorrow (July 29) the temperature across our area will hit 30C and will remain so until around 6pm.
The increase in temperatures comes as a yellow heat health alert comes into force at 9am this morning (July 28).
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) heat health alert lasts until 9am on Friday morning (July 31) and warns that the heat could have an impact on health services, including the NHS.
The Met Office has said that the fourth heatwave could be declared in some parts of the country – but it will not last long.
Gregory Wolverson, Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster said: “This is a short-lived spell of heat, but temperatures will climb quickly through the first half of the week, particularly in the southeast.
“By Wednesday, some areas could see temperatures in the mid-30°Cs, and while the heat will not be widespread across the whole of the UK, it will be enough for parts of the southeast to likely meet official heatwave criteria by Thursday.
“Elsewhere, the weather will be more changeable, and the change to cooler, more unsettled conditions will arrive sooner from the north and west, with a mix of sunshine and showers. Across northern areas, it is possible there will be heavier showers with a small risk of isolated thunderstorms through the week.”
