The Met Office has issued amber, yellow and green health alerts across the country lasting from 9am on Saturday until 9am on Monday. A spokesman said: "High pressure will start to build over the south of England, allowing temperatures to gradually rise into the weekend, with the warmest temperatures in the south and east of England.
RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: “With summer returning in time for the weekend for many of us, it’s going to mean millions of us take to the road for day trips and short breaks. “Hungry, thirsty or tired passengers can also be recipes for in-car irritability – and ‘carguments’ – so pack enough food and water to keep your passengers happy, and plan in enough breaks along the way.”The expected 33C heat by Monday would smash the previous high set two years ago - by as much as five degrees.
